Example of a patient reporting exertional dyspnea. In (A), CTCA showed significant CAD on left anterior descending (LAD) artery (white arrow), classified CAD-RADS 4A. Coronary angiogram confirm severe stenosis of proximal LAD (black arrow), angioplasty followed by stenting was performed to relieve symptoms (B). Finally, CTCA post-treatment based on the FAI-Score values (C) on three arteries, the coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden and the clinical risk factors showed low CaRi-Heart Risk, thereby predicting low risk of future acute coronary events and permitted treatment goals and follow-up strategies personalization.
