DOES SPOTTY CALCIFICATION ATTENUATE THE RESPONSE OF NONCULPRIT PLAQUE TO STATIN THERAPY?: A SERIAL OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY STUDY
2018
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine if spotty calcification decreases the response of plaque progression to statin therapy. Background: Previous studies showed that the presence of spotty calcification is a marker of vulnerable plaque. However, the relationship between spotty calcification and plaque progression is not clear. Methods: Ninety-six nonculprit lipid-rich plaques in 69 patients who received serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging were included. Plaques were divided into three groups: spotty calcification (n = 38), calcified (n = 12) and noncalcified (n = 46) plaques. Spotty calcification was identified by the presence of a lesion
