Abstract:Background:
Coronary biomechanical stress contributes to the plaque
rupture and subsequent events. This study aimed to investigate the impact of
plaque biomechanical stability on the physiological progression of intermediate
lesions, as assessed by the radial wall strain (RWS) derived from coronary
angiography.
Methods:
Patients with at least one medically treated
intermediate lesion at baseline who underwent follow-up coronary angiography over
6 months were inclu… Show more
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.
