Abstract: Pericoronary adipose tissue(PCAT)is a special tissue that adheres closely to the coronary arteries and is part of the epicardial adipose tissue(EAT).It can not only interact with adjacent blood vessel walls,but also be affected by the systemic metabolic status.The PCAT attenuation index measurement technique is a new method for detecting coronary artery inflammation,which is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.The review of the research progress of PCAT by reviewing and analyzing the relevant literature and clinical work experience,and use of the early monitoring of PCAT,early and targeted treatment measures can be carried out for patients to prevent or treat a variety of complications.
