Progression of AtheRosclerotic PlAque DetermIned by Computed TomoGraphic Angiography Imaging(PARADIGM)

To describe the natural history of the coronary atherosclerotic plaque development and progression over time by CCTA with demographic and laboratory data for refinement of risk stratification of patients referred for CCTA.

All PARADIGM study patients underwent initial and follow-up CCTA based on order from their primary physician. Demographic data, targeted medical history, cardiovascular risk factors, and laboratory data was prospectively collected in electronic case report forms (eCRFs) at the time of the initial CCTA and at the time of follow-up CCTA.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients underwent two or more clinically indicated CCTA with 64-detector rows or greater for CAD evaluation
• patients underwent at least 2 year interval between the baseline and follow-up CCTA

Exclusion Criteria:

• poor image quality of CCTA
