Coronary CTA characteristics of CAD and high-risk coronary plaque stratified by the levels of hsTn I.

	Total (n=160)	hsTn I below the limit of detection (n= 9)	hsTn I intermediate (n=139)	hsTn I above the 99th percentile (n=12)	p value
Traditional CAD assessment (%)
No CAD (0% stenosis)	68 (42.5)	6 (66.7)	60 (43.2)	2 (16.7)	0.066
Non-obstructive CAD (1-49% stenosis)	70 (43.8)	3 (33.3)	65 (46.5)	2 (16.7)	0.106
Significant CAD (≥50% stenosis)	22 (13.8)	0 (0)	14 (10.1)	8 (66.7)	<0.001
Advanced assessment of coronary CTA (%)
Any high-risk plaque	61 (38.1)	0 (0)	51 (36.7)	10 (83.3)	<0.001
Positive remodeling	26 (16.3)	0 (0.0)	20 (14.4)	6 (50.0)	0.006
Low <30 HU plaque	20 (12.5)	0 (0.0)	15 (10.8)	5 (41.7)	0.010
Napkin-ring sign	14 (8.8)	0 (0)	10 (7.2)	4 (33.3)	0.022
Spotty calcium	56 (35.0)	0 (0.0)	46 (33.1)	10 (83.3)	<0.001
