China: In patients with intermediate coronary stenosis, radial wall strain (RWS) from angiography significantly corresponds with plaque composition and known optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of plaque vulnerability, says a recent study in EuroIntervention.
The thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and lipid-to-cap ratio (LCR) derived from OCT indicate plaque vulnerability. Huihong Hong, Department of Cardiology, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Fuzhou, China, and colleagues aimed to explore the association of a novel method for estimating RWS from angiography with plaque composition and features of vulnerability assessed by OCT.
