Combination of plaque burden, wall shear stress, and plaque phenotype has incremental value for prediction of coronary atherosclerotic plaque progression and vulnerability.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Large plaque burden, certain phenotypes, and low wall shear stress (WSS) are associated with adverse outcomes and high WSS with development of plaque vulnerability. We aimed to investigate the incremental value of the combination of plaque burden, WSS and plaque phenotype for prediction of coronary atherosclerotic plaque progression and vulnerability. METHODS: Twenty patients with CAD underwent baseline and...
