Percent change in plaque volume from baseline to 1 year in patients with no endothelial dysfunction or elevated microvascular resistance, with either endothelial dysfunction or elevated microvascular resistance, and with both endothelial dysfunction and elevated microvascular resistance. ED = endothelial dysfunction; IMR = index of microcirculatory resistance
