Abstract
Intravascular ultrasound measurable atherosclerosis in nonstenotic LMCA correlates with conventional primary coronary risk scores. Left main coronary artery calcium correlates both with LMCA plaque volume and risk factors. Thus, subclinical LMCA atherosclerosis may be a marker for events that are predicted by commonly used primary risk-assessment algorithms.
