Figure 2 Relation Between Plaque Color and Fibrous Cap Thickness
The plaque color was graded as white, light yellow, yellow, or intensive yellow by coronary angioscopy. The fibrous cap thickness was estimated by optical coherence tomography. There was a significant negative correlation between yellow color intensity and fibrous cap thickness in Spearman rank-order correlation analysis (p < 0.0001).
