Layered plaques represent signs of previous plaque destabilization. A recent study showed that acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with layered culprit plaque have more vulnerability at the culprit lesion and systemic inflammation. We aimed to compare the characteristics of non-culprit plaques between patients with or without layered plaque at the culprit lesion. We also evaluated the characteristics of layered non-culprit plaques, irrespective of culprit plaque phenotype.

急性冠状动脉综合征伴有罪犯斑块的非罪犯斑块的特征。

分层的斑块代表先前斑块不稳定的迹象。最近的一项研究表明，急性冠状动脉综合征（ACS）伴有斑块状斑块的患者在斑块病变和全身性炎症方面更具脆弱性。我们旨在比较在罪犯病变处有或没有分层斑块的患者之间的非罪犯斑块的特征。我们还评估了分层的非罪犯菌斑的特征，而与罪犯菌斑的表型无关。
