Circulating Microparticles and Coronary Plaque Components Assessed by Virtual Histology Intravascular Ultrasound of the Target Lesion in Patients with Stable Angina
Fig 1
Comparison of the relative plaque composition between the two groups.
The site of the minimum luminal area (A), site of the largest necrotic core area (B), and target lesion volume of a 10-mm segment centered on the minimal luminal area (C). Plaque compositions assessed by VH-IVUS were classified into 4 major components: FT, FF, NC, and DC. Data are shown as mean ± 95% confidence interval.
