Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Coronary hemodynamics impact coronary plaque progression and destabilization. The aim of the present study was to establish the association between focal vs. diffuse intracoronary pressure gradients and wall shear stress (WSS) patterns with atherosclerotic plaque composition. METHODS: Prospective, international, single-arm study of patients with chronic coronary syndromes and…
