Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) mostly arises from so-called vulnerable coronary plaques,
particularly prone for rupture. Vulnerable plaques comprise a specific type of plaque, called …

OBJECTIVE. In this article, we review the histopathologic classification of coronary
atherosclerotic plaques and describe the possibilities and limitations of CT regarding the …

Objective To evaluate whether biologic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD s)
decrease cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether …

Objective To explore incidence and progression of coronary atherosclerosis and identify
determinants in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We specifically evaluated the impact …

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 …

Aims In patients without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), we examined the
prognostic value of risk factors and atherosclerotic extent. Methods and results Patients from …

Purpose In coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA), low attenuation of coronary
atherosclerotic plaque is associated with lipid-rich plaques. However, an overlap in …

The purpose of this study is to present a new semi-automated methodology for three-
dimensional (3D) reconstruction of coronary arteries and their plaque morphology using …

Coronary computed tomography angiography can evaluate coronary arterial plaque
composition with high resolution. We aimed to determine and compare the values of …

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease that causes most myocardial infarctions, strokes,
and acute coronary syndromes. Despite the identification of multiple risk factors and …
