Prognostic Significance Of Plaque Location In Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: From The Confirm Registry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in proximal segments is associated with a poor prognosis. However, the contribution of plaque location to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients nonobstructive CAD not well defined. We examined MACE risk relation non-obstructive by CT angiography (CCTA).

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine sex-specific associations, if any, between per-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) extent and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over a 5-year study duration. BACKGROUND The presence and extent of CAD diagnosed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is associated with increased short-term mortality and MACE. N...
