Virtual ACC 2020 | “Dangerous” Plaques by CT Effectively Predict Infarction

This post-hoc analysis of the SCOT-HEART shows low-attenuation plaque burden might successfully predict events. A greater number of low-attenuation plaques seems to be synonymous with greater risk which makes them better predictors than clinical scores, coronary calcification and stenosis degree.  IVUS, CT and carotid ultrasound are the accepted tools to diagnose plaque burden and predict
