Arterial Imaging and Atherosclerosis Reversal
摘要：
This review explores evidence for the reversibility of atherosclerosis and augmentation of angiography with non- invasive arterial wall imaging. Meta-analysis from coronary angiographic trials demonstrates that regression and stabiliza- tion are 1.5 to 2 times more common in treated than placebo subjects, and progression is reduced by half in treated subjects. Odds ratios for clinical coronary events are significantly re- duced with treatment. Lesion improvement occurs more readily in women than men and more so in women receiving concomitant estrogen replacement therapy. Lesions with >50% diameter stenosis (%S) at baseline respond more readily to lipid lowering than those
