Effect of statin therapy on coronary fibrous-cap thickness in patients with acute coronary syndrome: Assessment by optical coherence tomography study.
NCBI HomePage (Jun 24 2008) Cardiology Explore Article
BACKGROUND: The thickness of coronary fibrous caps is a major determinant of vulnerable plaques. Several clinical trials have suggested that statin therapy could stabilize vulnerable plaques. Recently, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been proposed as an effective histology-resolution imaging modality for assessing such micro-structural changes. METHODS: Forty AMI patients with hyperlipidemia were enrolled and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). They were divided into two groups; statin treatment group (n=23) or ...
