Traditionally, the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) was described as a gradual
growth of plaques within the intima of the vessel. The outer boundaries of the intima, the …

This document suggests standards for the acquisition, measurement, and reporting of
radiofrequency data analysis (virtual histology-VH) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies. …

Background— Atherosclerotic plaque stability is related to histological composition. However,
current diagnostic tools do not allow adequate in vivo identification and characterization of …

Background— Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2 ) is expressed
abundantly in the necrotic core of coronary lesions, and products of its enzymatic activity may …

Objectives : The goal of the present study was to compare the accuracy of in vivo tissue
characterization obtained by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) radiofrequency (RF) data analysis, …

Aims: Atherosclerosis is considered both a systemic and focal disease. Current diagnostic
tools do not allow adequate in vivo identification and characterisation of lesions. Advanced …

Purpose of Review This paper investigates present uses and future potential of artificial
intelligence (AI) applied to intracoronary imaging technologies. Recent Findings Advances in …

Spectral analysis of backscattered intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) data has demonstrated
the ability to characterize plaque. We compared the ability of spectral parameters (eg, slope, …

Background— Coronary artery disease is the major cause of late cardiac allograft failure.
However, few data exist regarding the natural history of changes in intimal and external elastic …

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides direct depiction of coronary artery anatomy, including
plaque and vessel area, which is important in quantitative studies on the progression or …
