PROSPECT: An Imaging Study in Patients With Unstable Atherosclerotic Lesions

To identify in patients presenting with ACS imaging modalities and/or serologic markers of inflammation which may aid in the identification of non-flow obstructing lesions with an increased risk for future acute coronary events. This study will ascertain the prevalence and clinical significance of non-flow obstructing lesions, which subsequently result in acute coronary events - defined as vulnerable plaque. The safety of regional imaging of non-culprit lesions in ACS patients will also be assessed.
