Atherosclerosis is an insidious and progressive inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of lipid-laden plaques within the intima of arterial walls with potentially devastating consequences. However, despite a heterogenous substrate underlying coronary thrombosis, treatment remains identical.

people from the general population), coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) are higher, indicating more calcification and the presence of atherosclerotic plaques. Calcified plaques are known to be more stable and less prone to rupture and lead to a heart attack. When comparing athletes to control groups (i.e., hours per week).

Nevertheless, the correlation between ISNA and the progression of untreated coronary segments affected by native atherosclerosis remains incompletely investigated.

This article is part 2 of a series on cardiac CT. If you have not yet read it, I suggest doing so before reading the remainder of this article. I've included the article here. A CT CAC scan can only identify if there is calcified atherosclerosis, where it is and to what extent. More often than you would think!

If the arrest was caused by acute MI due to plaque rupture, then the diagnosis is MINOCA. Here is my comment on MINOCA: "Non-obstructive coronary disease" does not necessarily imply "no plaque rupture with thrombus." They often cannot even be recognized as culprits, as fissured or ulcerated plaque. FFR can be useful.

However, most adults will start to develop advanced plaque in their coronary arteries early in life. By age 66, more than half of all females will have evidence of advanced plaque in their coronary arteries, as seen on a CT calcium score. Coronary atherosclerosis, as evidenced by an abnormal CAC score, is a measure of advanced plaque.
