Adding endothelial shear stress to stenosis severity may improve prediction of abnormal PET result

A low-to-moderate positive association exists between lesion plaque burden (PB) and indices of endothelial shear stress (ESS), a recent study has shown. ESS, like PB, increases with stenosis severity and is higher in lesions paired with abnormal positron emission tomography (PET) results.
