Original Research. Transluminal Contrast Attenuation Gradient Is Associated with Coronary Plaque Vulnerability — a Computed Tomography Angiography-based Study

The aim of this study was to demonstrate that the transluminal contrast attenuation gradient (TAG), a new CT imaging-derived marker of functional significance of a coronary stenosis, is directly associated with the vulnerability degree of atheromatous coronary plaques. Material and methods: This is...
