Why the study?
Does the extent and direction of arterial remodeling differ between patients with unstable versus stable coronary syndromes?
Does the extent and direction of arterial remodeling differ between patients with unstable versus stable coronary syndromes?
Positive arterial remodeling and larger plaque areas on intravascular ultrasound are associated with unstable coronary syndromes, whereas negative remodeling is more common in stable presentations.

Arterial remodeling patterns differ by lesion stability on IVUS; leaves open prospective validation before informing clinical risk stratification.
Schoenhagen et al. (2000) studied this question.
