Whole heart atherosclerosis volume and risk for major adverse cardiovascular events across the clinical likelihood for obstructive CAD; the CONFIRM2 study.
We evaluated the risk and absolute event rates of plaque volume staging systems and provided analyses according to the clinical likelihood of obstructive CAD. While quantitative atherosclerosis was present in the majority of patients, risk increased significantly from 250 mm3 of TPV during intermediate term follow-up.
