PREDICTION OF FUTURE CARDIOVASCULAR RISK BY ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS CT CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY-DETERMINED QUANTITATIVE PLAQUE COMPOSITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AMONG PATIENTS WITH DIABETES ENROLLED IN THE FACTOR-64 STUDY: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CALCIFIED CORONARY PLAQUE

Quantitative compositional coronary plaque and CAC scores were measured using semi-automated software, and their relationship to future MACE (death, myocardial infarction and unstable angina) was determined by stratification into categories.
