The Lipid-Rich Plaque (LRP) Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating NIRS-IVUS Imaging (TVC Imaging System) for Coronary Artery Disease and Atherosclerosis. Completed, enrolled 1,563 participants across 41 sites in 6 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to enhance medical knowledge of the causes of future coronary problems. Many studies in patients who have already experienced a coronary problem point to the danger associated with plaques that are rich in cholesterol. This study determines if the near-infrared method of detection of these fatty plaques can predict future events. If dangerous plaques can be identified, there are many treatments already available that could be tested for their ability to prevent coronary events.
