🫀 New insights from Covani et al. and Ben-Yehuda's editorial reveal a striking paradox: more cardiovascular risk factors 🔥 = more plaque rupture, but less erosion! 🧊
Using OCT imaging, they show how traditional risks drive inflammatory, rupture-prone plaques, while erosion may follow a different path altogether—less lipid, less inflammation, more mystery. 🧬
🎯 Takeaway: Precision prevention must evolve. Not all plaques (or patients) follow the same script.
