The Effect of Clinically Indicated Liraglutide on Pericoronary Adipose Tissue in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Table 2

Differences in PCAT CCTA attenuation crude values between Lira+ and Lira- for each coronary artery.

Unadjusted	Lira+	Lira-	value
CX () HU			0.859
LAD () HU			0.179
RCA () HU			0.926

Abbreviations: CX: left circumflex artery; LAD: left anterior descending artery; RCA: right coronary artery; Lira+: in clinically indicated liraglutide treatment; Lira-: no liraglutide treatment; SD: standard deviation; HU: Hounsfield unit. Coronary artery segments with insufficient image quality were excluded from the analysis. Consequently, analysis for CX included 182 (50 Lira+/132 Lira-), LAD included 188 (53 Lira+/135 Lira-), and RCA included 184 (52 Lira+/132 Lira-) segments.
