Ct Radiomics Of Coronary Artery Calcification Distinguish Vulnerable Plaques In Acute Coronary Syndrome- A Propensity-matched Study With Asymptomatic Subjects With Same Calcified Plaque Burden

Abstract

Introduction: Measurement of coronary artery calcium (CAC) using Agatston score (AS) is widely used to predict the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, many ACS victims have AS < 100, while many asymptomatic subjects have AS > 400. We hypothesize that CT radiomics can distinguish the vulnerability of CAC in subjects with similar AS.
