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

血液中脂肪（脂质）水平升高会增加心脏血管疾病（冠状动脉疾病）的风险。冠状动脉的计算机断层扫描（CTCA）是一种安全而准确的评估脂肪沉积（斑块）的方法，它可以阻塞动脉并导致心脏病发作。我们将研究不同脂质模式与CTCA斑块总量之间的关系，以及更容易引起心脏病发作的斑块。

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.
