Morphological, pathophysiological, and hemodynamic predictors of coronary atherosclerotic plaque instability (literature review)
This review summarizes current knowledge of the key determinants of coronary atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) vulnerability. Particular emphasis is placed on morphological markers of plaque instability identified by intravascular imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (I...
