Regression of coronary artery outward remodeling in patients with non-ST-segment acute coronary syndromes: A longitudinal study using noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging

Patients with ACS have increased coronary vessel wall thickness and area that can regress with stabilization and medical therapy over the period of 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging can detect and serially follow these changes, monitoring coronary vascular remodeling from the acute to the chronic phase of the disease.
