  Explore ScienceDirect Dec 22 2018 Cardiology
  
  Background The role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses in atherosclerotic diseases remains an open question. Previous clinical trials have attempted to explore the predictive effect of HDL subspecies on cardiovascular risk. However, no studies have assessed the connections between these subclasses and characteristics of plaque microstructure. Objective To investigate the relationship of HDL subclasses and coronary plaque stability assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods Morphological characteristics of 160 non-target ...

  Explore Hindawi Publishing Corporation Feb 13 2018 Cardiology
  
  Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) level is known to be a prognostic factor in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the correlation between SUA level and coronary plaque instability has not been fully evaluated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between SUA level and plaque instability of nonculprit lesions in patients with ACS using optical coherence tomography. A total of 150 patients with ACS who ...

8. Does spotty calcification attenuate the response of nonculprit plaque to statin therapy?: A serial optical coherence tomography study
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library Jan 23 2018 Cardiology
  
  Objectives The aim of this study was to determine if spotty calcification decreases the response of plaque progression to statin therapy. Background Previous studies showed that the presence of spotty calcification is a marker of vulnerable plaque. However, the relationship between spotty calcification and plaque progression is not clear. Methods Ninety-six nonculprit lipid-rich plaques in 69 patients who received serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging were included. Plaques were divided ...

9. EROSION Study (Effective Anti-Thrombotic Therapy Without Stenting: Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography–Based Management in Plaque Erosion)
  
  Explore Circulation Dec 19 2017 Cardiology
  
  Background The initial EROSION study (Effective Anti-Thrombotic Therapy Without Stenting: Intravascular Optical Coherence TomographyBased Management in Plaque Erosion) demonstrated that patients with acute coronary syndrome caused by plaque erosion might be stabilized with aspirin and ticagrelor without stenting for 1 month. However, a long-term evaluation of outcomes is lacking. The aim of this study was to assess whether the initial benefit of noninterventional therapy for patients with acute coronary syndrome ...

  Explore Wiley Online Library Dec 16 2017 Cardiology
  
  Background It is unclear whether more severe coronary atherosclerosis is a prerequisite to an initial acute coronary event in women vs men. Hypothesis Women may have more severe coronary atherosclerosis than men in patients with acute coronary event. Methods We used intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) to evaluate gender differences in culprit-plaque morphology in patients with a first ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).We retrospectively enrolled 211 consecutive patients who ...

  Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) versus coronary angiography in the assessment of target lesion calcification and its effect on stent expansion. Background IVUS is more sensitive than angiography in the detection of coronary artery calcium, but the relationship among IVUS, OCT, and angiography has not been studied. Methods Overall, 440 lesions (440 patients with stable angina) underwent OCT- ...
