Assessment of tissue characteristics of noncalcified coronary plaques by 64-slice computed tomography in comparison with integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Fetuin-A is a circulating glycoprotein that is involved in various stages of atherosclerosis. Despite the fact that emerging evidence suggests fetuin-A acts as a calcification inhibitor that protects against advanced calcified atherosclerosis in dialyzed patients, the role of fetuin-A in cardiovascular diseas...
