Adverse Plaque on Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography Identifies Patients at an Increased Risk of Subsequent Events

(A) Bar graph of the frequency of coronary heart disease death or nonfatal myocardial infarction at 2 and 5 years for patients with normal coronary arteries and nonobstructive or obstructive disease with and without adverse plaque. (B) Coronary computed tomography angiography and invasive coronary angiography images from a patient with nonobstructive coronary artery disease who had a subsequent non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The red/yellow dotted lines and arrows correspond to the location of the plaques in the red/yellow boxes.
