Abstract:
It has been previously thought that calcification is a feature of the stability of atherosclerotic plaques. However, recent studies have shown that microcalcification in atherosclerotic plaques is significantly associated with plaque vulnerability. The relationship between atherosclerotic plaques and calcification is unclear, and the specific role of calcification in atherosclerotic plaques remains controversial.
