Sex-related differences in plaque characteristics and endothelial shear stress related plaque-progression in human coronary arteries

Sex-related differences in plaque characteristics and endothelial shear stress related plaque-progression in human coronary arteries

Background and aims: Clinical atherosclerosis manifestations are different in women compared to men. Since endothelial shear stress (ESS) is known to play a critical role in coronary atherosclerosis development, we investigated differences in anatomical characteristics and endothelial shear stress (...
