Coronary Plaque Lipid Characterization
Conditions
Brief summary
The study purpose is to prospectively collect data for a set of predefined variables in clinical cases where coronary plaque lipid characterization by IVMRI was performed during diagnostic or interventional procedures in order to gather incremental information beyond angiography and other diagnostic modalities.
