A secondary analysis of the PROMISE trial reveals that women face elevated cardiovascular risk at significantly lower coronary plaque thresholds than men, necessitating a paradigm shift toward sex-stratified interpretation of coronary CT an
A Swedish cohort study of 10,222 men linked adolescent blood pressure to coronary atherosclerosis by CCTA ~40 years later; higher systolic BP in adolescence, even in the ‘elevated’ range, was associated with greater odds of severe (>50%)
The PROMISE trial’s 10-year follow-up shows no difference in all-cause or cardiovascular mortality between initial functional stress testing and anatomic coronary CTA in symptomatic patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
Coronary CTA, guided by clinical risk models and advanced radiomic plaque analysis, improves prediction and prevention of myocardial infarction in patients with new-onset chest pain, particularly in those with low clinical likelihood of cor
