Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) provides a wealth of clinically
meaningful information beyond anatomic stenosis alone, including the presence or absence …

An important advantage of computed tomography coronary angiography (CCTA) is its ability
to visualize the presence and severity of atherosclerotic plaque, rather than just assessing …

Objectives: This study evaluated the association between atherosclerotic plaque
characteristics (APCs) by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA), and lesion …

Background Atherosclerotic plaque characteristics may affect downstream myocardial
perfusion, as well as coronary lesion severity. Objectives This study sought to evaluate the …

Objectives: This study examined the performance of percent aggregate plaque volume (%
APV), which represents cumulative plaque volume as a function of total vessel volume, by …

The process of coronary artery disease progression is infrequently visualized. Intravascular
ultrasound has been used to gain important insights but is invasive and therefore limited to …

Early identification and treatment of the vulnerable plaque, that is, a coronary artery lesion
with a high likelihood of rupture leading to an acute coronary syndrome, have gained great …

Abstract Aims Adverse plaque characteristics (APCs) by coronary computed tomography
(CT) angiography (CTA) are associated with myocardial ischaemia and future acute …

The diagnostic evaluation of coronary artery disease is undergoing a dramatic
transformation with a new focus on atherosclerotic plaque. This review details the evidence …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality
worldwide. Although invasive coronary angiography has previously been the gold standard …
