Relationship between plaque structural stress and wall shear stress and plaque change. (A–C) Change in plaque burden (A) necrotic core (B) or fibrous tissue (C) according to plaque structural stress and wall shear stress group in areas with progression. (D–F) Change in plaque burden (D) necrotic core (E) or fibrous tissue (F) according to plaque structural stress and wall shear stress group in areas with regression. Data are presented as means ± standard error of mean. FT, fibrous tissue; NC, necrotic core; PB, plaque burden; PSS, plaque structural stress; WSS, wall shear stress (only frames with plaque burden ≥40% included in the analysis).
