Overview

Narrative review discusses OCT's prognostic value for coronary plaque in patients with coronary artery disease, suggesting tailored secondary prevention strategies.

Key Points

  • This review assesses the prognostic role of intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) detected coronary plaque microstructures.
  • Review of studies on OCT and its role in coronary plaque evaluation.
  • Analysis of specific plaque features linked to coronary artery disease outcomes.
  • Assessment of therapeutic implications of identified plaque microstructures.
  • Identified plaque features enhance understanding of coronary artery disease prognosis.
  • OCT aids in the management and prevention strategies for patients with atherosclerotic plaques.
  • Preliminary insights on preventive interventions for high-risk plaque types were noted.
