«We studied asymptomatic individuals with a low risk of cardiovascular events at baseline and
used noninvasive imaging to predict the risk of an event downstream,» said David A. Bluemke, M.D, Ph.D., from the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md. «This is the first population - based prospective study to determine if vulnerable plaque features by MRI add to the risk of a cardiovascular event beyond the traditional risk factors.»
