CAC, coronary artery calcium; SIS, segment involvement score.

aMACE was defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, target vessel revascularization, and coronary artery disease-related hospitalization

bAdjusted for age, male gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, family history and current smoking.
