Patient and vessel based analysis and PCAT measures
PCAT Volume (cm3) | Any Plaque hs-CRP >2 | No Plaque, hs-CRP >2 | No Plaque, hs-CRP <1 | p value |
---|---|---|---|---|
All coronaries | 39.65 ± 2.67 | 22.37 ± 2.90 | 24.72 ± 3.42 | < 0.001 |
LAD* | 10.50 ± 1.05 | 5.83 ± 1.03 | 5.82 ± 1.33 | 0.003 |
LCx | 9.55 ± 0.99 | 6.49 ± 0.91 | 6.00 ± 1.16 | 0.039 |
RCA | 18.21 ± 1.60 | 14.24 ± 1.46 | 13.11± 1.90 | 0.051 |
Values are reported as mean ± standard error. PCAT denotes pericoronary adipose tissue, hs-CRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; LAD, left anterior descending artery; LCx, left circumflex artery; RCA, right coronary artery. All mixed effect models were accounted for the matching performed and are adjusted for BMI, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.
Indicates that a non-parametric model was used to generate the p-value.
