Endothelial shear stress computed from coronary computed tomography angiography: A direct comparison to intravascular ultrasound
J Cardiovasc Comput Tomogr
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies have shown that biomechanical variables, particularly endothelial shear stress (ESS), add synergistic prognostic insight when combined with anatomic high-risk plaque features. Non-invasive risk assessment of coronary plaques with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) would be helpful to enable broad population risk-screening.
