Abstract
Introduction
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive test for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), but the prognostic value of integrating plaque burden into CAD-RADS 2.0 has not been fully evaluated. We aimed to assess whether the high-risk CAD-RADS 2.0 category, which combines stenosis severity and segment involvement score (SIS), provides prognostic information beyond stenosis severity in patients with stable chest pain.
