Why the study?
Does medical therapy promote healing of spontaneous coronary atheromatous plaque rupture without significant stenosis in patients with first acute coronary syndrome?
Does medical therapy promote healing of spontaneous coronary atheromatous plaque rupture without significant stenosis in patients with first acute coronary syndrome?
In patients with a first ACS, spontaneous plaque ruptures without significant stenosis heal without significant plaque modification in 50% of cases when treated with medical therapy alone.
May support medical therapy alone for non-stenotic plaque rupture in first ACS; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation.
Nearly 2 years of follow-up found that spontaneous coronary atheromatous plaque rupture without significant stenosis detected on first acute coronary syndrome healed without significant plaque modification in 50% of cases with medical therapy.
