Figure 1 Difference in atherosclerotic plaque temperature from background temperature (T) in the three subgroups. Temperature differences increase progressively from effort angina (EA) to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The bottom of the box represents the first quartile; the top of the box represents the third quartile; and the line in the box represents the median value of T. UA = unstable angina.
