The relation among the burden of disease, progression of atherosclerosis, and remodeling in angiographically minimally diseased coronary arteries has not been defined. The present analysis included 1,906 patients who participated…
Increased neovascularization in atherosclerotic plaques is associated with plaque vulnerability. The high resolution of optical coherence tomography (OCT) might provide a chance to directly visualize plaque neovascularization in vivo. The…
