Visit-to-visit variability of metabolic parameters and progression of atherosclerosis in computed tomography: follow up of an asymptomatic cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to examine whether intra-individual variability in traditional risk factors affects the progression of atherosclerosis on subsequent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using asymptomatic health examination cohort data from Haeundae Paik Hospital in Korea collected between 2010-2020. A total of 387 adults met the inclusion criteria of having at least two CCTAs without specific symptoms with an interval of more than one year and having completed three or more health examinations. Visit-to-visit variability was evaluated using the average real variability (ARV) of body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, hig
