Study shows pericardial fat is linked to calcified plaque
By Eric Barnes
Thursday, November 29 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSQ01-09 | Room S502ABPatients with higher levels of pericardial fat are also more likely to have more coronary artery calcium and, hence, greater risk of cardiac events, say researchers from the University of California, San Francisco.

CONFIRM study confirms gateway role for cardiac CTA
By Eric Barnes
In a study of more than 15,000 patients who underwent coronary CT angiography (CCTA), few individuals with mild or moderate disease needed invasive procedures, confirming CT's role as a cost-efficient gateway exam for patients with suspected coronary artery disease, researchers wrote in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
