Linear regression models were created with percent atheroma volume, percent noncalcified plaque volume, and percent calcified plaque volume as dependent outcomes using both CAD PRS on a continuous scale and divided in the different genetic risk groups. The multivariable model was adjusted for age, sex, genetic ancestry, coronary revascularization, and conventional risk factors (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, body mass index, smoking status, family history of CAD, and statin use).
