FIGURE 1.

CCTA reconstruction of the LAD (A), LCX (B), and RCA (C). D – area from A; E – area from B; F – area from C. Orange arrows, coronary plaques; red lines, the arterial lumen; yellow lines, noncalcified plaque; blue lines, plaque with both calcified and non-calcified contents; green lines, a highly calcified plaque.

Inflammation analysis. A – FAI score, representing the weighted FAI of the coronary artery with the highest degree of inflammation; B – CaRi-Heart risk, the risk of a fatal cardiac event if left untreated, based on the FAI score values, the coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden, and the clinical risk factors, showing a high risk for cardiac events; C – Inflammation mapping of LAD and RCA, with hues toward blues reprezenting a higher degree of inflammation
