| Description: |
Background: Vascular inflammation is a key aspect of plaque vulnerability. Cross-sectional studies suggest that increased carotid perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) attenuation on CTA, which is thought to reflect vascular inflammation, is associated with stroke. Objectives: We investigated the predictive value of carotid PVAT attenuation for ischemic stroke and TIA in a longitudinal study of symptomatic patients with carotid plaque. Methods: We included patients with recent TIA or stroke and a ≥2 mm carotid plaque with |
