• Change in FFR CT across the lesion (ΔFFR CT ) was the most important predictor of ACS risk in non-obstructive lesions. • Non-obstructive lesions with higher ΔFFR CT or low-attenuation plaque were associated with a higher risk of ACS. • The integration of anatomical, plaque, and hemodynamic characteristics can improve the noninvasive prediction of ACS risk.
