You cannot eliminate the plaque entirely, but multiple clinical trials have shown plaque regression using high-intensity cholesterol-lowering treatments, which I have discussed previously. All of these parameters are important and need to be considered when evaluating plaque regression. REVERSAL Investigators.

If the arrest was caused by acute MI due to plaque rupture, then the diagnosis is MINOCA. Here is my comment on MINOCA: "Non-obstructive coronary disease" does not necessarily imply "no plaque rupture with thrombus." They often cannot even be recognized as culprits, as fissured or ulcerated plaque. FFR can be useful.

Here’s the angiogram of the RCA : No thrombus or plaque rupture in the RCA (or any coronary artery) was found. This MI wasn’t caused by a ruptured plaque of CAD - it was a coronary artery dissection of the RCA. This MI wasn’t caused by a ruptured plaque of CAD - it was a coronary artery dissection of the RCA.

Objective Assessing the impact of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) on the plaque burden of coronary atherosclerosis is our objective. Methods In this study, a total of 212 patients (age 46–80 years) with unstable angina (UA) who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital from January 2018 to July 2022 due to UA were included.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,6 Until recently atherosclerosis has been thought of as the result of passive lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. 4 In the U.S.
