BACKGROUND Intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) has the ability to quantitatively evaluate
vessel wall morphology and is well suited for serial studies of coronary artery disease …

Coronary angioplasty is gaining increased importance as a primary treatment of acute
myocardial infarction, but the complication rate of the procedure is higher than in stable …

The purpose of this study was to determine the use of ultrasonic tissue characterization
(UTC) for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Real-time UTC and …

Background—Previous studies have reported diffuse destabilization of atherosclerotic
plaques in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results—We used intravascular …

Electron beam computed tomographic studies have demonstrated that the extent of
intracoronary calcium is related to risk of coronary events. This study was performed to gain …
