The examples of multi-detector computed tomography in a patient from the (a) placebo group at randomization and (b) after one year. a) At randomization, two calcified plaques are seen in left anterior descending artery (red colour) and one calcified plaque in circumflex artery (blue colour). Plaques volume 156.4 mm3, calcium score 138.9. b) After one year, the volume of previously observed plaques increased with the new calcification in distal part of left anterior descending artery. Plaques volume 223 mm3, calcium score 202.5.
