Applying the ordinal model of atherosclerosis to imaging science: a brief review.
Open Heart 2018
Atherogenesis has been well demonstrated to proceed in an ordinal fashion. Imaging technologies have advanced substantially in recent decades, enabling early detection of atherosclerosis. Some modalities, such as coronary CT, have seen broad clinical adaptation. In contrast, others, such as flow-mediated dilatation, remain predominantly research-based. Optimal and appropriate usage of these technologies remains an area of active investigation. We hypothesise that investigators ought to consider which stage of atherosclerosis is under investigation when choosing imaging modalities. Additionally, when assessing the efficacy of a particular treatment, some imaging modalities may be more appropriate than others. We review the most important available imaging modalities and suggest stages at which each may or may not be well used. Conceptual application of the classic stages of atherosclerosis model to the variety of modern imaging modalities available will result in more effective investigation and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
