The Relationship Between Volumetric Plaque Components and Classical Cardiovascular Risk Factors and the Metabolic Syndrome
… virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS). Background: It remains unclear how the cardiovascular risk factors correlate with the histological components of coronary plaques. Methods: “Whole vessel” VH-IVUS analysis was performed in 189 vessels of 63 patients. The components of …

hs-CRP level represents the disease burden and the age but not vulnerability of coronary atherosclerosis
… virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) in 189 vessels of 63 patients. The components of atherosclerosis were classified as fibrous (FI), fibrous-fatty (FF), necrotic core (NC) and dense calcium (DC). Quantitative assessment of these plaque components and the presence of …

Investigation Into The Role Of Biomechanical Forces In Determining The Behaviour of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques
… virtual-histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) studies linking VH-TCFA to future adverse clinical events. VH-TCFA are however common along the coronary tree with the majority remaining clinically silent, suggesting that factors other than plaque phenotype play an important role in …

Biomechanical Analysis of Human Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques in Response to Pharmacotherapy, and in Predicting Adverse Clinical Events
… PSS heterogeneity can improve the capability of VH-IVUS to identify plaques that lead to such events.

The assessment of biomechanical modelling and PET/MR imaging in coronary atherosclerosis
… virtual-histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) have been developed to characterise lesion morphology, composition, function and metabolism. …
