PCI is commonly used to open blocked arteries to treat significant myocardial ischemia , which occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygenated blood. These findings demonstrate that the focal treatment of high-risk vulnerable plaques may improve patient prognosis beyond optimal medical therapy alone.”

Many of the changes seen are reminiscent of LVH with “strain,” and downstream Echo may very well corroborate such a suspicion, but since the ECG isn’t the best tool for definitively establishing the presence of LVH, we must favor a subendocardial ischemia pattern, instead. Type I ischemia. Type II ischemia.

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. Mixed Plaque - A combination of both calcified and NON-calcified plaque.

Why do arteries block? Arteries generally narrow and occlude for one of two reasons: The progressive accumulation of plaque. A plaque ruptures, and a clot forms in the artery, thereby occluding it. The second reason is commonly referred to as a ‘Heart Attack’ or acute coronary syndrome.
