Influence of intracoronary hemodynamic forces on atherosclerotic plaque phenotypes

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.
