Segment-based analysis of CMR and OCT. A total of 791 segments were analysed. They were divided into 56 segments with a plaque-to-myocardial signal intensity ratio (PMR) ≥1.4 and 735 segments that have plaques with PMR <1.4. Of the 56 segments that have plaques with PMR ≥1.4, 10 segments were excluded due to being in non-culprit vessels that underwent PCI. Ultimately, 46 segments that have plaques with PMR ≥1.4 and 91 segments that have plaques with PMR <1.4 were included in the final analysis.
