Research Abstract

The present study was conducted to identify any relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) and coronary plaque characteristics using integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound(IB-IVUS) which can detect coronary plaque composition. eGFR significantly correlated with both parameters(r=-0. 68, p<0. 001 and r=0. 69, p<0. 001, respectively). In conclusion, lower eGFR levels are associated with higher lipid and lower fibrous contents, contributing to coronary plaque vulnerability.
