Additive Effect of Multiple High-Risk Coronary Artery Segments on Patient Outcomes: LRP Study Sub-Analysis
Abstract
Background
The Lipid Rich Plaque (LRP) Study established the association between high volume of lipidic content (maximum Lipid Core Burden Index [maxLCBI 4mm ] >400) in the coronary arteries and subsequent non-culprit major adverse cardiac events (NC-MACE). This analysis sought to assess the clinical impact of more than one lipid-rich plaque in the coronary tree.
