CCTA-based Coronary Plaque Characterization and High-sensitive Troponin T for the Prediction of Cardiovascular Outcomes

September 10, 2018 updated by: GKorosoglou, University Hospital Heidelberg

Comprehensive 'Bio-Imaging' Using Quantitative Coronary Plaque Composition Assessment and the High-sensitive Troponin T for the Prediction of Cardiac Outcomes.

To determine the ability of semi-automated plaque assessment in cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and high sensitive troponin T (hsTnT) for the risk stratification of patients at intermediate risk for coronary artery disease (CAD).
