Key result
ACS is linked to a ~273% higher prevalence of compensatory remodeling versus stable angina.
Why the study?
Are coronary artery remodeling patterns assessed by intravascular ultrasound associated with specific plaque characteristics and clinical presentations?
Observational (n=75)
Are coronary artery remodeling patterns assessed by intravascular ultrasound associated with specific plaque characteristics and clinical presentations?
Absolute Event Rate: 42.9% vs 11.5%
p-value: p=<0.01
Coronary artery remodeling patterns assessed by IVUS correlate with clinical presentation, with compensatory remodeling more frequent in acute coronary syndromes and constrictive remodeling in stable angina.

Tahk et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Acute coronary syndrome and stable angina (n=75). Acute coronary syndrome vs. Stable angina was evaluated on Compensatory remodeling (CpR) (p=<0.01). Acute coronary syndrome was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of compensatory remodeling compared to stable angina (42.9% vs 11.5%, p<0.01).
