Atherosclerosis, 10/08/09
Rivera JJ et al. – Age and gender are overall the strongest predictors of atherosclerosis as assessed by CCTA in this large asymptomatic Korean population and these two risk factors are not particularly associated with a specific coronary plaque sub–type. Smoking is a strong predictor of NCAP, which has been suggested by previous reports as a more vulnerable lesion. Whether a specific plaque sub–type is associated with a worse prognosis is yet to be determined by future prospective studies.
