Key result
OxLDL deposition in the coronary intima was significantly higher in yellow plaques without a necrotic core (93%) compared to normal segments (32%) and yellow plaques with a necrotic core (30%).

PCAT may supply oxLDL to coronary intima; leaves open whether it independently drives plaque risk or events.
Cross-Sectional (n=9)
Yes
Absolute Event Rate: 93% vs 32%
p-value: p=<0.05
Uchida et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary atherosclerosis (n=9). Plaque morphology (yellow plaques without necrotic core) vs. Normal segments was evaluated on Incidence of oxLDL deposition in the intima (p=<0.05). OxLDL deposition in the coronary intima was significantly higher in yellow plaques without a necrotic core (93%) compared to normal segments (32%) and yellow plaques with a necrotic core (30%).
