Background: The association of atherosclerotic features with first acute coronary syndromes
(ACS) has not accounted for plaque burden. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to …

Objectives: In a computed tomographic (CT) angiography study, we identified the
characteristics of atherosclerotic lesions that were associated with subsequent development …

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA)-verified positive
remodeling and low attenuation plaques are considered morphological characteristics of …

Background Coronary CTA allows characterization of non-calcified and calcified plaque and
identification of high-risk plaque features. Objective We aimed to quantitatively characterize …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to identify histomorphologic characteristics of
atherosclerotic plaques and to determine the amenability of some of these components to be …

Importance Plaque morphologic measures on coronary computed tomography angiography
(CCTA) have been associated with future acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the …

Background Atherosclerotic plaques that lead to acute coronary syndromes often occur at
sites of angiographically mild coronary-artery stenosis. Lesion-related risk factors for such …

Objectives This study sought to assess the extent and composition of atherosclerosis
contributing to acute coronary syndrome events in women compared with men. Background …

Objectives: This study sought to assess whether coronary atherosclerosis analysis by
coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) may improve prognostic stratification …

Objectives In this substudy of the PROSPECT (Providing Regional Observations to Study
Predictors of Events in the Coronary Tree) study, we examined the longitudinal distribution …
