Carotid artery plaque composition and distribution: near-infrared spectroscopy and intravascular ultrasound analysis
Most atherosclerotic plaques (APs) form in typical predilection areas of low endothelial shear stress (ESS). On the contrary, previous data hinted that plaques rupture in their proximal parts where accelerated blood flow causes high ESS. It was postulated that high ESS plays an important role in the...
