Abstract
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.
