Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main parameter to study will be the mean plaque progression measured with follow-up CCTA imaging comparing between patients with and without MACE.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary study parameters to be studied will be the following: * Number of high risk plaque features, i.e.: o positive remodelling (RI>1.1) o low attenuation plaque (* 30 HU) o spotty calcification o napkin ring sign * Relative mean plaque progression * Difference in non-calcified plaque volume between baseline and follow-up CCTA (delta non-calcified plaque volume) * Difference in calcified plaque volume between baseline and follow-up CCTA (delta calcified plaque volume) * Coronary calcium score * Plasma biomarker expression
