Motivational effects of coronary artery calcium scores on statin adherence and weight loss.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The ability of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) angiography to differentiate plaque types remains unclear. We evaluated whether the density of noncalcified coronary plaques by 64-slice CT angiography correlates with plaque components assessed by integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS).
