| Abstract | ||
| HistoricallyAtherosclerosis and its complications are the leading cause of death in modern countries. In coronary angiography, multislice CT coronary angiography is utilised to investigate the role of plaque characterization and vessel wall analysis in positively reformed lesions and its predictors of 180-day cardiovascular clinical events. Methods: Our research focused on 55 patients who had been referred to the International Cardio Scan Center for Multi Slice CT CA in line with the Society of Cardiovasculer Computed Tomography requirements for appropriateness in their specific circumstance. Single vascular disease and lesions with positive arterial remodelling were selected for further examination. A single lesion was chosen for each patient, whether it was the loneliest or the most extensive. Renovated plaque region has a 32.7311.04 percent higher percentage of low attenuation plaque compared to the reference site. According to the research, the remodelling site had a larger percentage of the medium attenuation plaque (62.769.24 percent compared to 50.0414.53 percent) than the reference segment. For quantitative plaque evaluation and the assessment of positive remodelling, MDCT is an excellent noninvasive alternative to IVUS since it includes morphological characteristics, the degree of vessel wall remodelling, the presence of calcification and the attenuation properties of plaque itself | ||
