Multivariable analysis includes the individual quantitative plaque measure, Agatston calcium score, obstructive disease and cardiovascular risk score. Full model results are presented in Table i in the Supplemental Appendix. Multivariable analysis of cardiovascular risk score, CACS, obstructive disease, presence of high-risk plaque features and adipose tissue volume (PCAT-RCA volume) includes all different types of plaque burden.

*

Per doubling.

§

Per 1 standard deviation increment in PCAT attenuation.

HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; NCP, non-calcified plaque; LAP, low-attenuation plaque; CP, calcified plaque; PCAT-RCA, pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation of the right coronary artery; CACS, coronary artery calcium score.
