• •4. Contraindication for CCTA
• •5. 3 major epicardial coronary arteries with ≥ 70% or left main ≥50% stenosis.
• •6. Acute MI that occurred within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
• •7. PCI performed within 2 weeks prior to randomization or PCI is required or planned during study treatment based on clinical indication for revascularization.
• •8. Clinically evident stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 6 months prior to randomization.
• •9. Relapse and highly symptomatic arrhythmia uncontrolled by drugs within the past 3 months.
• •10. Prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), aortic root surgery with coronary reimplantation, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement, surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), or heart transplantation, or a plan to undergo these procedures (CABG, aortic root surgery with coronary reimplantation, LVAD placement, SAVR, TAVR, or heart transplantation) during the study.
• •11. New York Heart Association class III or IV or last known left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was \<40%.
• •12. Carotid endarterectomy or stenting, peripheral arterial revascularization, or abdominal aortic aneurysm repair within 4 weeks prior to randomization.

• •14. History of severe myalgia attributed to statin therapy or other significant concern about statin side effects.
• •15. Known gastrointestinal ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or gastrointestinal/rectal bleeding within 6 months prior to randomization.
• •16. Evidence of unresolved major diseases 2 weeks prior to randomization or planned major surgery during the study that, in the investigator's judgement, may interfere with the investigational product administration or trial assessments.

• •25. Presence of renal dysfunction, defined by eGFR \< 45 ml/min/1.73m2.
• •26. Untreated or inadequately treated hypothyroidism.
• •27. Poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

• •29. Presence of any other diseases or conditions (apart from those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make it unsuitable for the participant to participate in this study.
