Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyComputed tomography-based high-risk coronary plaque score to predict acute coronary syndrome among patients with acute chest pain - Results from the ROMICAT II trial.
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) can be used to detect and quantitatively assess high-risk plaque features. ⋯ The ROMICAT score derived from semi-automated quantitative measurements of high-risk plaque features was an independent predictor of ACS during the index hospitalization and was incremental to gender and presence of ≥ 50% stenosis.
