These new findings suggest that people with high-risk plaques that are likely to rupture could benefit from the procedure as a pre-emptive measure rather than waiting for a heart attack or other severe reduction in blood flow to occur. During PCI, an operator inserts a stent into a blocked artery through a catheter in the groin or arm.

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. Having no evidence of plaque on both of these tests reflects a very low risk of a heart attack in the next five to ten years.
