Intravascular Ultrasound Virtual Histology of Coronary Plaque in Healthy Marathon Runner

DESCRIPTION

This image illustrates an intravascular ultrasound virtual histology view of a plaque in the left anterior descending artery, highlighting a significant amount of necrotic core (14%) marked in red. The findings presented by Möhlenkamp et al. (2007) raise interesting questions about coronary atherosclerosis in individuals who appear healthy, such as marathon runners. This case sheds light on the paradox of exercise and cardiovascular health, suggesting that even physically fit individuals may have underlying plaque characteristics that warrant further investigation.
