Serum lipid profiles and the presence of yellow plaque in coronary lesions in vivo.
Coronary angioscopy was used to examine the relation between plaque color and serum lipid levels in 44 patients with yellow plaque and 94 with white plaque. The findings indicate a strong relation between lipid profile and plaque color and therefore between lipid profile and plaque composition in vivo.
