CCTA-derived plaque component-inflammation load is associated with concurrent CT-FFR-defined functional limitation: a retrospective cross-sectional imaging study
Background Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) depicts coronary anatomy, plaque composition, and pericoronary inflammation, whereas CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) provides a computational functional estimate. We examined whether a prespecified plaque component-inflammation load (CIL) index was...
