Spatial relationships among hemodynamic, anatomic, and biochemical plaque characteristics in patients with coronary artery disease

We aimed at characterizing the spatial proximity of plaque destabilizing features local endothelial shear stress (ESS), minimal luminal area (MLA), plaque burden (PB), and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) lipid signal in high-vs. low-risk plaques.
