Figure 1. Whole-Heart Plaque Volume by Composition for Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and Control Individuals .

Figure 1.

Per-patient volumes of necrotic core (<30 Hounsfield units [HU]), fibro-fatty (30-130 HU), fibrous (131-350 HU), calcified (351-700 HU), calcified (701-1000 HU), and 1K (>1000 HU) plaques are reported. Patients with ACS reported significantly more necrotic core and fibro-fatty plaques and less 1K plaque compared with control individuals. Cross-sectional examples of the different plaque composition types are displayed by different colors. 1K plaque is shown in blue.
