Fig 3
Characteristics of high-risk plaques.
(A) Characteristics of high-risk plaques in patients with and without nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis and (B) in patients with higher and lower VAT scores (cutoff, 86 cm2). NAHS, nonalcoholic hepatic steatosis; NS, not significant; CP, calcified plaque; NCP, non-calcified plaque; PR, positive remodeling; LDP, low-density plaque; SC, spotty calcification; HRP, high-risk plaque.
