Background:Lipoprotein a (Lp(a)) is known to be associated with coronary artery disease and carotid artery atherosclerosis. Carotid ultrasound results were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of plaque. Lp(a) levels were categorized into two groups: below 50 mg/dl and 50 mg/dl or higher. 1692 (64.6%) were male.

Coronary Atherosclerosis There are multiple ways of describing coronary plaque: The degree of obstruction The composition of the plaque The thickness of the plaque wall (Cap) that separates the plaque from the inside of the blood vessel. One of the primary metrics used in studies of plaque regression is plaque volume or plaque area.

The fundamental characteristic of atherosclerosis is when a cholesterol particle becomes trapped in the artery wall. It is the inflammatory response to this particle retention that causes the formation of atherosclerosis 1. Lipoprotein particles entering the subintimal space causing atherosclerosis.

The problem is difficult to study because angiographic visualization of arteries is not perfect, and not all angiograms employ intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to assess for unseen plaque or for plaque whose rupture and ulceration cannot be seen on angiogram.

In Ischaemic strokes, there is some sort of blockage either in the major vessels that take the blood (this is called large vessel atherosclerosis) to the brain or even in the smaller vessels (called small vessel occlusion). Ultrasound – this is easily available, very portable and usually a very low risk investigation.

The ways to tell for certain include intravascular ultrasound (to look for extra-luminal plaque with rupture) or "optical coherence tomography," something I am entirely unfamiliar with. The authors recommend using optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound imaging in patients with evidence of nonobstructive CAD by angiogram.
