Irma Bagdoniene: Plaque Stability and the Importance of LDL Lowering

Irma Bagdoniene, Cardiologist Specializing in Prevention and Lipidology, shared Atherosclerosis’ post on LinkedIn, adding:

“Excellent summary.

We often focus on the degree of stenosis, but plaque composition and stability are equally important.

Another compelling reason to optimize LDL-C lowering as early as possible! ”

Atherosclerosis shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Pruthvi C. Revaiah et al., adding:

“What if the coronary plaques that matter most are not always the ones causing the greatest obstruction?

Non-obstructive plaques can still be lipid-rich, biologically active, and clinically relevant.

In the YELLOW III sub-study, intensive lipid-lowering therapy with evolocumab plus statins reduced lipid-rich plaque components and was accompanied by a modest improvement in coronary physiology.

AI-based OCT helped connect changes in plaque composition with functional remodeling.

The findings raise an intriguing question: could treating plaque biology be just as important as treating stenosis?”
