Excerpt

Numerous studies have shown a significant relationship between coronary artery luminal diameter, the dimension and progression of atherosclerotic plaques, and the development of serious cardiovascular events [1, 2, 3, 4]. It is well-known that even a slight regression (stabilization) of atherosclerotic plaque significantly decreases the risk of sudden death, myocardial infarction, and other cardiovascular adverse events [5, 6]. Some clinical trials have proved that a reduction of only 1 % in mean proximal diameter stenosis of the coronary artery proportionately reduces the rate of unfavorable events by almost 20 % [2]. …
