We thank Dr. Wong for his interest in our paper (1). Among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), 32 of 37 (86.5%) patients underwent invasive coronary angiography. Coronary revascularization was performed in 26 of 37 (70.3%) patients. There were no cardiovascular deaths, and 5 patients were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction during the index hospitalization. These numbers of events were insufficient to evaluate the predictive value of high-risk plaque features for hard cardiovascular outcomes.We agree with Dr. Wong that the ability of high-risk plaque features to predict long-term cardiovascular outcomes is of great interest in acute chest pain patients. In the ROMICAT II (Rule Out Myocardial Infarction/Ischemia Using Computer Assisted Tomography II) trial, the design of the study did not include follow-up beyond 28 days. Therefore, we were unable to study long-term outcomes.
