Key Points

Mortality incidence rises with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis, indicating a critical correlation.
Severe coronary atherosclerosis is linked to a significant mortality incidence of 25% over five years.
Assessment using computed tomography angiography provides crucial insights into coronary atherosclerosis progression and vascular health risk evaluation for individuals at risk of cardiovascular events. The ongoing challenge to detect cardiovascular risks emphasizes the need for advanced vascular assessment methods.
