Abstract
Introduction: Coronary artery plaques can be calcified, non-calcified, or mixed. Calcification in the coronaries is almost solely atherosclerotic and is easily quantified by Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score, which is highly predictive of cardiovascular events. Calcified, Non-Calcified Plaque levels and CAC score weight have not been studied adequately in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) subjects, who generally have elevated Coronary Plaque and very high ASCVD risk. This study is to examine coronary plaque types, stenosis scores, and segments involved in ESRD subjects compared to matched non-ESRD subjects.
