VARIATION IN INTRACORONARY LIPID-RICH PLAQUE DETECTED BY NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY IN ASYMPTOMATIC INDIVIDUALS WITH HIGH CORONARY ARTERY CALCIUM SCORES

Methods: We performed multi-vessel intracoronary near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound in 20 asymptomatic individuals with no prior history of coronary disease who had a screening CACS >=300 Agatston units.
