Ischemic cardiomyopathy is associated with coronary plaque progression and higher event rate in patients after cardiac transplantation.

In addition, for the observed follow‐up duration, change in plaque volume index was higher in the ICM group, with borderline significance, indicating a slightly higher plaque progression rate in this patient population (1.1 mm 3 /mm [range 0.4 to 1.8 mm 3 /mm] versus 0.5 mm 3 /mm [range −0.1 to 1.6 mm 3 /mm], P =0.063; Table 2 and Figure 2 ).
