Coronary lipid-rich plaque characteristics in Japanese patients with acute coronary syndrome and stable angina: A near infrared spectroscopy and intravascular ultrasound study

Coronary lipid-rich plaque characteristics in Japanese patients with acute coronary syndrome and stable angina: A near infrared spectroscopy and intravascular ultrasound study

Background: Asians have a much lower incidence of adverse coronary events than Caucasians. We sought to evaluate the characteristics of coronary lipid-rich plaques (LRP) in Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stable angina (SA). We also aimed to identify surrogate markers for the e...
