Increasing clinical evidence has emphasized the importance of coronary plaque characteristics, rather than the severity of luminal narrowing on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) outcome. Computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) is a unique, non-invasive approach for assessing plaque characteristics. This study was prospectively designed to investigate the prognostic value of physiologically non-obstructive but a vulnerable coronary plaque on CTCA for predicting future ACS events.
