Figure 5. Left: Scatterplot with regression line depicts dominant expansive remodeling with high correlation (r = 0.788, P < .001, y = 8.17 + 0.93x) between plaque-plus-media CSA and EEM CSA in 76-year-old man. Right: Corresponding computer-assisted graphic reconstruction of the vessel (only the segment containing the lesion, not the reference segments) shows that at least 80% of the EEM CSAs are above the individual reference value (the mean EEM CSA, calculated as the mean value of the EEM CSAs in the proximal and distal reference segments).
