Figure 2 Plaque Composition in Relation to Clinical Presentation

Plaque composition on a per-segment based analysis in patients with stable angina (stable patients) or with acute coronary syndromes (unstable patients). The necrotic core (%) was significantly increased in patients with (median [interquartile range] 11.4 [5.5 to 19.8]) as compared to those without (7.3 [3.2 to 12.9]) an acute coronary syndrome. *p < 0.001 versus stable patients.
