Correlation between EAT volume and plaque composition burden in ACS and SAP.
Characteristic | ACS (n = 70) | SAP (n = 31) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
r | P value | r | P value | |
Total plaque burden, % | 0.309 | 0.009∗ | 0.145 | 0.436 |
Calcified plaque burden, % | 0.124 | 0.305 | 0.092 | 0.622 |
Noncalcified plaque burden, % | 0.242 | 0.044∗ | 0.138 | 0.461 |
Lipid plaque burden, % | 0.240 | 0.045∗ | 0.190 | 0.307 |
Fibrous plaque burden, % | 0.080 | 0.508 | 0.082 | 0.660 |
ACS: acute coronary syndrome; SAP: stable angina pectoris. ∗P < 0.05 was regarded as significant.
