High-risk plaque features on coronary CT angiography (CAD RADS = 3 + HRP). HRP = High-risk plaque. (A) Positive remodeling seen in proximal left anterior descending artery (red bracket), with moderate (50–60%) underlying stenosis (2.5 mm luminal diameter shown with the yellow line). Outer caliber of artery is >1.5 times the inner lumen; 7.0 mm total vessel diameter is shown with the red line, and the green lines with 4.6 mm measurements demonstrate the luminal diameter pre- and post-stenosis. (B) Low-attenuation lipid core (<30 Hounsfield units, light blue arrow) with speckled calcium.
