Abstract

Serial imaging of the coronary arteries with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) enables monitoring progression of atherosclerotic plaque and characterization of the clinical and pharmacological factors that influence it. These studies have demonstrated the importance of targeting the major cardiovascular risk factors, with evidence of slowing progression and in some cases promoting disease regression. In addition, technological advances in intravascular imaging also permit characterization of individual plaque components, enabling more comprehensive evaluation of anti-atherosclerotic therapies.
