Biomarkers enable the characterization of patient populations and quantitation of the extent
to which new drugs reach intended targets, alter proposed pathophysiological mechanisms …

Objective To evaluate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and risk of cardiac events in
patients with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients and Methods We …

Context Although low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) increase risk for
coronary disease, no data exist regarding potential benefits of administration of HDL-C or an …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 64-
slice computed tomography (CT) to identify and quantify atherosclerotic coronary lesions in …

Historically, the focus of the diagnostic evaluation for symptomatic women and men has
been the detection of an obstructive coronary stenosis requiring revascularization (as …

Objectives: This study was designed to investigate whether contrast-enhanced multidetector
spiral CT (MDCT) permits assessment of remodeling in coronary atherosclerotic lesions …

We demonstrate intravascular photoacoustic imaging of human coronary atherosclerotic
plaque. The data was obtained from two fresh human coronary arteries ex vivo, showing …

high-density lipoprotein (HDL) delipidated plasma are feasible and well tolerated in patients …

Background Smaller coronary artery diameter portends worse outcomes after coronary
artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The …

Background—Angiography of the coronary arteries reflects only changes in luminal
dimensions. With intravascular ultrasound, cross-sectional images can be obtained and …
