The association of lesion eccentricity with plaque morphology and components in the superficial femoral artery: a high-spatial-resolution multi-contrast weighted CMR study

摘要

BackgroundAtherosclerotic plaque morphology and components are predictors of subsequent cardiovascular events. However, associations of plaque eccentricity with plaque morphology and plaque composition are unclear. This study investigated associations of plaque eccentricity with plaque components and morphology in the proximal superficial femoral artery using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).
