New prediction tools for coronary plaque erosion: Don't forget computational fluid dynamic analysis

We read with great interest the review by Vergallo et al. regarding the novel prediction tools for plaque erosion in acute coronary syndrome [1]. As the author evidenced, the accurate and non-invasive prediction of plaque erosion still represents an unmet medical need in cardiovascular medicine. To this regard, among the available predictive tools, the authors in their elegant analysis did not report the promising results obtained over the last years using the computational fluid dynamic analysis (CFD) [2].
