“…Cardiovascular mortality was very low at 0.06%. Similar low event rates were observed more recently in 1451 low-to-intermediate ASCVD patients with suspected CAD who had undergone CCTA and had a calcium score <1 [48]. Approximately 6% of patients had soft plaques of ≥50% luminal stenosis.…”

“…Retrospective analysis determined total mortality in the sample was 0.4% over a mean follow up of 2.5 years and did not occur in those patients with soft plaque [47]. Similar low event rates were observed more recently in 1451 low-to-intermediate ASCVD patients with suspected CAD who had undergone CCTA and had a calcium score <1 [48]. Approximately 6% of patients had soft plaques of ≥50% luminal stenosis.…”

“…Further, CTA for allows quantification of plaque densities and a more detailed characterization of plaque components. A substantial percentage of patients with early stages of atherosclerosis (up to 25% pending on population characteristics) are not detected by the coronary calcium score [35].…”

“…However, the CAC score cannot rule out CAD, because in the early stages of CAD, this score may be as low as zero. Therefore, it is suggested to use this index along with other factors predicting coronary artery events (24).…”
