Abstract: BACKGROUND The AHA recommends statins in patients with CACS>100 AU. However in patients with low CACS (1-99 AU), no clear statement is provided, leaving the clinician in a grey-zone. High-risk plaque (HRP) criteria by coronary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae666.176
Abstract: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero (so-called "power of zero") is associated with a very low rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), especially during short and midterm follow-up. However, a CAC score of… read more here.

Abstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW High-risk plaque (HRP) features are commonly observed in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS); however, their individual predictive value remains limited. This review explores the importance of integrating anatomical and physiological assessments… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1754-9485.13817
Abstract: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a well‐established and reliable non‐invasive imaging modality that provides a comprehensive assessment of coronary artery anatomy and luminal stenosis due to atherosclerosis. Owing to advances in CCTA software and… read more here.

CD163+ macrophages restrain vascular calcification, promoting the development of high-risk plaque

DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.154922
Abstract: Vascular calcification (VC) is concomitant with atherosclerosis, yet it remains uncertain why rupture-prone high-risk plaques do not typically show extensive calcification. Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) deposits erythrocyte-derived cholesterol, enlarging the necrotic core and promoting high-risk plaque… read more here.
