Background Lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) are morphological features of high-risk atherosclerotic plaques. However, their relationship to circulating lipoproteins is unclear. Purpose To study associations between changes in lipoproteins vs. changes in LRNC (represen...
