RESUMO
Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the main causes of death and permanent disability. Reducing the burden of stroke is possible if effective preventive measures are provided. The possibilities of correcting lipid metabolism as an important measure aimed at preventing IS are analyzed.

AIM: to compare noninfarct-related lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) with culprit and non-culprit lesions in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) using intravascular ultrasound virtual histology (VH-IVUS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Overall 70 patients were enrolled: 38 with ST elevation (STE) MI and 32 with stable angina pectoris (SAP). All patients underwent three-vessel coronary angiography and gray-scale and VH-IVUS after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of infarct-related lesion in STEMI or culprit lesion in SAP. RESULTS: A total of 130 plaques were examined: 70 in patients with STEMI and 60 in patients with SAP. Noninfarct-related lesions in acute MI compared with non-culprit lesions in SAP had significantly larger plaque burden and plaque volume, smaller minimum lumen area, and more positive remodeling. STEMI, hyperlipidemia, plaque burden, and hypertension were independent predictors of unstable plaques.
