Table 6 Comparison of VH-IVUS data between the new lesion plaque at 9–12 months after PCI and the angiographical non-stenotic lesion plaque of his own pre-first PCI in the high apo-C3 group (n = 5).

From: Apolipoprotein C3 and necrotic core volume are correlated but also associated with future cardiovascular events

  1. Values are presented as mean ± standard errors. *P < 0.05 by paired t-test. Five new lesions in the high apo-C3 group could be estimated by VH-IVUS before PCI at 9–12 months after first PCI. VH-IVUS, virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound; %FI percentage of the FI volume in the plaque volume; %FF percentage of the FF volume in the plaque volume; %NC percentage of NC volume in the plaque volume ; %DC percentage of the DC volume in the plaque volume; high apo-C3, patients with apo-C3 > 8.5 mg/dL.
