Figure 1. Coronary disease activity and plaque burden in patients with and without future myocardial infarction.
Coronary microcalcification activity (CMA, top row), maximum target to background ratios (TBR, middle row) and the coronary calcium scores (CCS, bottom row) in patients with and without myocardial infarction during follow-up. For the Kaplan-Meier curves patients were dichotomized according to thresholds derived from receiver operator curves using the Youden’s index: CMA=1.56, TBR=1.28 and coronary calcium score = 1199 Agatston-units.
