The Association of Patterns of Dyslipidaemia with Coronary Artery Plaque on Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography

血液中脂肪(脂)水平的升高增加了患供应心脏的血管疾病(冠状动脉疾病)的风险。冠状动脉计算机断层扫描(CTCA)是一种安全而准确的评估脂肪沉积(斑块)的方法，它可能会阻塞动脉并导致心脏病发作。我们将研究CTCA上不同的血脂模式和斑块总数之间的关系，以及与更容易导致心脏病发作的斑块的关系。

Elevated levels of fats (lipids) in the blood increase the risk of developing disease of blood vessels supplying the heart (coronary artery disease). A computed tomography scan of the coronary arteries (CTCA) is a safe and accurate way of assessing fatty deposits (plaque) that can block the arteries and cause heart attacks. We will examine the relationship between different lipid patterns and total amount of plaque on CTCA, and with plaque that is more prone to cause heart attacks.
