Association of plasma level of malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein with coronary plaque morphology in patients with coronary spastic angina: Implication of acute coronary events

Higher MDA-LDL levels were observed in the coronary circulation in patients with focal vasospasm than in those with diffuse vasospasm. Under these conditions, the dramatically increased percent plaque volume in cases with focal vasoconstriction may play an important role in the development of acute coronary events.
