Coronary plaque characteristics quantified by artificial intelligence-enabled plaque analysis: Insights from a multi-ethnic asymptomatic US population
Our study showed a uniformly high prevalence of atherosclerosis in this asymptomatic cohort, with lower plaque volumes of all sub-components in women. African American patients were associated with lower quantitative plaque volumes (total, non-calcified and calcified) but with higher PCAT compared to White patients; with no significant differences observed among other ethnic minorities.
