Figure 3

Correlation among relative lipid volume, mechanical properties and plaque behavior in the less calcified group. The EEM volume compliance, plaque volume compliance and EEM area stiffness index were significantly correlated with relative lipid area whereas there was no significant correlation between lumen volume compliance and relative lipid area. EEM: external elastic membrane.
