Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides a sensitive and reproducible measurement of the coronary artery dimensions, atherosclerotic plaque, and arterial lumen. Advances in IVUS technology now allow for the characterisation of the composition and morphology of atherosclerotic plaques. Although previous studies have reported data using IVUS with radiofrequency analysis, little is known regarding the use of a new modality (iMap ® , Boston Scientific -Santa Clara, CA, USA) of atherosclerotic

This study aims to analyse the morphological, phenotypic, and tissue characteristics of 'culprit' and 'non-culprit' atherosclerotic plaques determined by angiography in patients undergoing coronary angiography due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: This will be a prospective, cross-sectional, single centre study (
