Article Synopsis
- * There's a big debate among doctors about whether to use anatomical tests (like CCTA) or functional tests (like stress echocardiography) first to check how bad the heart problem is.
- * New tests that combine both approaches, like stress computed tomography perfusion, may help doctors make better decisions for patients, especially those who are at high risk or have already had heart procedures.
Artificial intelligence-powered insights into high-risk, non-obstructive coronary atherosclerosis: a case report.

Department of Clinical Cardiology and Cardiovascular Imaging, IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi Sant'Ambrogio, Via Cristina Belgioioso 173, Milan 20157, Italy.
Background: Advanced coronary plaque analysis by cardiac computed tomography (CT) has recently emerged as a promising technique for better prognostic stratification. However, this evaluation application in clinical practice is still uncertain.
Case Summary: In the present case, we described the clinical picture of a 44-year-old tennis player with ectopic ventricular beats in which cardiac CT enabled the identification of a non-obstructive but high-risk plaque on proximal left anterior descendent artery.

The risk of cardiovascular complications is directly related to excess body fat mass and ectopic fat deposition, but also other obesity-related complications such as pre-type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnoea, and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases. Body mass index and waist circumference are used to classify a patient as overweight or obese and to stratify cardiovascular risk.
