ASSESSMENT OF NONCULPRIT VULNERABLE PLAQUE WITH CORONARY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY IN COMPARISON TO INTRAVASCULAR ULTRASOUND

The composition of atherosclerotic plaque has an important influence on the risk of future coronary events. Plaque with attenuation on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) might be related to a worse long-term outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD), while coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA)
