MDCT can identify differences in plaque morphologies between TCFA and non-TCFA. From our results, MDCT may provide for the noninvasive assessment of vulnerable plaque.
The present OCT study demonstrated the differences of the culprit lesion morphologies between STEMI and NSTEACS. The morphological feature of plaque rupture and the intracoronary thrombus could relate to the clinical presentation in patients with acute coronary disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
