Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a global burden of 17 million deaths annually.Coronary atherosclerosis is a chronic and progressive process; thus, detecting subclinical atherosclerosis and intervening in its early phase has significant importance for clinical outcomes.Therefore, we aimed to apply the BQR model to the association analysis between graded subclinical and clinical coronary atherosclerosis and CV risk factors to evaluate vessel‐specific dynamic interrelationships.
