Abstract
Insights in age- and sex-specific coronary atherosclerotic plaque characteristics may contribute to a better understanding of coronary artery disease and, ultimately, to its prevention and treatment. In 307 women and 406 men aged 20 to 90 years undergoing intravascular ultrasound imaging, sex-based differences in coronary atherosclerotic plaque characteristics were mainly present in younger patients, while these differences were less pronounced at advanced age.
