Summary

Identifying patients who are at risk for a future myocardial infarction, is still one of the biggest challenges in cardiology.

In this study the investigators will investigate culprit lesion in patients with NSTEMI and the ability of cardiac CT with dual energy computed tomography (DECT) scanning to describe and identify plaques that may be vulnerable. The investigators will also describe changes in characteristic in both stable and unstable plaques during 1 year follow up of NSTEMI and a matching group of stable angina pectoris (SAP) patients.
