• Coronary inflammation can be measured by the attenuation of peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) on high-resolution CT (HRCT) without contrast media. • PCAT is strongly and independently associated with in-hospital mortality in SARS-CoV-2 patients. • PCAT might be considered an independent prognostic marker in COVID-19 patients if confirmed in other studies.
