Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is being increasingly used for direct, noninvasive evaluation of the coronary arteries. Beyond stenosis, coronary CTA also permits assessment of atherosclerotic plaque (including total and noncalcified plaque burden) and coronary artery remodeling, previously ...
Background To evaluate the influence of non calcified plaques (NCP), calcified plaques (CP), and luminal stenosis (LS) 鈮 50% of coronary arteries on the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) using CT. Methods A total of 321 consecutive subjects with suspected coronary artery disease ...
The detection, quantification and characterization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques has a major effect on the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Different studies have reported and evaluated the noninvasive ability of Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) to identify ...
Over the last 2 decades, understanding of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) significantly changed from an innocent bystander, protecting the coronary arteries from physical damage, to an inflammatory active endocrine organ that may influence development of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. EAT is ...

Calcified and noncalcified plaque are two types of plaque formed in the arteries. Both plaques are waxy substances consisting of deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, waste products from cells, and blood clotting material (fibrin). They can lead to an increase in the risk of blood clots, ...

Multi-detector row Computed Tomography (MDCT) permits non-invasive visualization of the coronary arteries. The ability to visualize and, with limitations, to characterize non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque has been described. We investigated the CT attenuation of non-calcified plaques as ...
