Vulnerable plaque identification and treatment
Anchorperson:
N. Pinilla
Spokesperson:
T. Johnson
Summary
This session focuses on the role of non-invasive and intra-coronary imaging in the identification and management of vulnerable plaque. Participants will explore the use of CCTA and intracoronary imaging techniques, such as IVUS, to diagnose vulnerable atherosclerosis. The session also evaluates the evidence supporting conservative or interventional treatments for vulnerable plaque, providing a comprehensive approach to this important clinical challenge.
Learning Objectives
- To consider the role of non-invasive assessment of plaque vulnerability
- To gain confidence in the use of intra-coronary imaging to define vulnerable plaque
- To evaluate the evidence supporting conservative or interventional treatments for vulnerable plaque
