title: [Comparison of Atherosclerotic Lesions in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction and Stable Angina Pectoris Using Intravascular Ultrasound].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to compare noninfarct-related lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) with culprit and non-culprit lesions in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) using intravascular ultrasound virtual histology (VH-IVUS).
  
  
  METHODS
  Overall 70 patients were enrolled: 38 with ST elevation (STE) MI and 32 with stable angina pectoris (SAP). All patients underwent three-vessel coronary angiography and gray-scale and VH-IVUS after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of infarct-related lesion in STEMI or culprit lesion in SAP.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 130 plaques were examined: 70 in patients with STEMI and 60 in patients with SAP. Noninfarct-related lesions in acute MI compared with non-culprit lesions in SAP had significantly larger plaque burden and plaque volume, smaller minimum lumen area, and more positive remodeling. STEMI, hyperlipidemia, plaque burden, and hypertension were independent predictors of unstable plaques.
