Differences in coronary artery disease by CT angiography between patients developing unstable angina pectoris vs. major adverse cardiac events

Highlights • Patients developing UAP had overall more atherosclerosis as patients without any events. • Patients developing MACE had only more mixed plaque as those developing UAP. • Different atherosclerotic plaque components by CTA carry different prognostic value.
