Most acute coronary syndromes are caused by sudden luminal thrombosis due to
atherosclerotic plaque rupture or erosion. Preventing such an event seems to be the only …

Plaque development and rupture are hallmarks of atherosclerotic vascular disease. Despite
current therapeutic developments, there is an unmet necessity in the prevention of …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the prognostic value of coronary artery calcium
score (CACS) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) for major adverse …

Plaque constitution on computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA) is associated
with prognosis. At present only visual assessment of plaque constitution is possible. An …

As a consequence of improved technology, there is growing clinical interest in the use of
multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) for non-invasive coronary angiography …

Sudden fibrous cap disruption of'high-risk'atherosclerotic plaques can trigger the formation
of an occlusive thrombus in coronary arteries, causing acute coronary syndromes. High-risk …

Aims Previous studies have used semi-automated approaches for coronary plaque
quantification on multi-detector row computed tomography (CT), while an automated …

Objectives: This study sought to determine the accuracy of plaque pattern assessment by
coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to differentiate between early and …

Computed tomography (CT) has evolved into a powerful diagnostic tool, and it is impossible
to imagine current clinical practice without CT imaging. Because of its widespread …

Background—The predictive value of coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA)
in subjects without chest pain syndrome (CPS) has not been established. We investigated …
