Description
This is an observational study which involves serial CT coronary angiography (CTCA) and body composition scans with clinical and biomarker correlation.
Patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiograms for stable or unstable symptoms, who have at least one major coronary artery system that will be left with residual coronary plaque with no intention to revascularize this by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or bypass grafting for at least the next 12 months, will be recruited. The participants will be asked to provide biological samples at enrolment (first CT scan) and at 12 months (second CT scan), which will involve 50mL blood sample and optional faecal specimen. The participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires at enrollment, 6 months and at 12 months.
