Culprit in custody but disease remains at large: OCT substrate and the residual SYNTAX score

Key Points

• This study aims to explore the relationship between OCT substrate characteristics and the residual SYNTAX score in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
• Randomized trial assessing patients with cardiovascular diseases using OCT substrate analysis.
• Evaluation of residual SYNTAX score in relation to disease outcomes.
• Data analyzed using appropriate statistical methods.
• Significant correlation found between OCT substrate characteristics and residual SYNTAX score.
• Higher residual SYNTAX scores linked to worse disease outcomes.
• P-values indicate strong significance in the observed relationships.
