Summary

This study looks at CT scans of the heart from 22,000 people who had chest pain. Researchers want to see if certain features of plaque (fatty deposits) in the heart arteries can help predict who will later have a heart attack, stroke, or die from heart disease. The goal is to improve how doctors use CT scans to guide treatment decisions.
