| 1. | See IVUS and atheroma for a better understanding of this issue.
|
| 2. | Certain stimuli that cause atheroma may lead to enhanced sensitivity of vasculature.
|
| 3. | Studies have also found that statins reduce atheroma progression.
|
| 4. | In stable angina, the developing atheroma is protected with a fibrous cap.
|
| 5. | Angiography only reveals the edge of the atheroma that protrudes into the lumen.
|
| 6. | Increased concentrations of HDL correlate with lower rates of atheroma progressions and even regression.
|
| 7. | However, atheromas within the vessel wall are soft and fragile with little elasticity.
|
| 8. | OCT has the capability of visualize coronary plaque erosion and fibrotic caps overlying atheromas.
|
| 9. | Large areas are called atheromas or plaque.
|
| 10. | If atheroma, or clots, are protruding into the lumen, producing stenotic areas.
