About this trial

This prospective cohort study aims to determine whether high-risk coronary plaques identified by novel Photon-Counting Detector CT (PCCT) independently predict future major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Participants will be followed for MACE and revascularization. The primary hypothesis is that the incidence of MACE is significantly higher in patients with PCCT-defined high-risk plaque than in those without. Additionally, patients will undergo Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and angiography within a month after PCCT; PCCT results will be compared with OCT in a cross-sectional analysis, and diagnostic performance will be evaluated against follow-up data.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)

Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and hospitalization for unstable angina requiring urgent revascularization, stratified by the presence versus absence of PCCT-defined high-risk plaque.

Time frame
Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Per-lesion MACE

Per-lesion hazard ratio of MACE for PCCT-defined HRP and OCT-defined HRP, adjusted for baseline clinical risk factors

Time frame
Up to 24 months
2

Myocardial infarction

Time to first non-fatal myocardial infarction

Time frame
Up to 24 months

Other outcomes

1

Diagnostic accuracy of PCCT for detecting OCT-defined high-risk plaque

per-patient and per-lesion sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and area under the ROC curve

Time frame
up to 12 month
