Assessment of coronary artery plaque progression using 64 slice multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT)
… to detect of non-calcified atherosclerotic plaque and assess the plaque composition. Also coronary MDCT is an effective tool for assessment of serial change in plaque volume and then it would be used as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials testing the efficacy of anti-atherosclerotic …

Relationship Between Intravascular Ultrasound Parameters and Fractional Flow Reserve in Intermediate Coronary Artery Stenosis of Left Anterior Descending Artery
… ultrasound (IVUS) parameters, including volumetric analysis, and fractional flow reserve (FFR). METHODS: Both IVUS and FFR were performed in 206 cases of intermediate stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Myocardial ischemia was assessed by FFR and maximal hyperemia was …

TO FACIAL FEATURES AS A NEW BIOMARKER FOR EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH-RISK ATHEROSCLEROSIS: A TRANSLATIONAL APPROACH
… subjects regarding high non-calcified plaque volume (AUC=0.89 vs. AUC_SCORE2=0.66, p-value <0.001), high low-density plaque volume (AUC=0.94 vs. AUC_SCORE2 =0.64, p-value <0.001) and the presence of at least one high-risk plaque feature (AUC=0.79 vs. AUC_SCORE2 =0.65, p-value =0.002). …

hs-CRP level represents the disease burden and the age but not vulnerability of coronary atherosclerosis
… presented hs-CRP level was associated with plaque vulnerability but most studies were performed by assessing focal target plaque but not whole plaques from a coronary tree. METHODS: To evaluate of the relationship of plasma hs-CRP level and volumetric plaque composition of the coronary …

The role of image processing and artificial intelligence machine learning-based systems for unbiased evaluation of human coronary atherosclerotic plaque progression and vulnerability, and in response to pharmacotherapy
… tomography (OCT) can identify high-risk plaques and is a widely used surrogate efficacy marker for drug and device studies. For example, fibrous cap thickness (FCT) <75µm, minimum lumen area (MLA) <3.5mm2, lipid arc >180°, and presence of macrophages, calcific nodules, neovascularisation, …
