 Absolute change, % 2.83 (0.53–7.10) 1.28 (0.37–3.86) 2.73 (0.53–6.97) 5.05 (2.06–9.44) 0.001
 Above-median progression 19 (33) 84 (49) 41 (71) <0.001
Percent noncalcified plaque volume
 Absolute change, % 0.66 (0.00–2.55) 0.35 (−0.17to1.51) 0.67 (0.00–2.55) 2.10 (0.11–3.34) 0.010
 Above-median progression 20 (34) 87 (51) 37 (64) 0.007
Percent calcified plaque volume
 Absolute change, % 1.21 (0.08–3.71) 0.42 (0.00–1.98) 1.21 (0.07–3.73) 1.96 (0.62–5.76) 0.002
 Above-median progression 20 (34) 85 (49) 39 (67) 0.002

Values are median (Q1-Q3) or n (%). Shown is the absolute change in percent atheroma volumes (PAVs) for patients with low, intermediate, and high polygenic risk score (PRS) and the proportion of patients with above-median progression for PAV, noncalcified plaque volume, and calcified plaque volume. Vessels that were revascularized between baseline and follow-up were excluded from both baseline and follow-up plaque analysis.
