Conclusions
• Coronary thermography reflects the inflammatory activation in
atherosclerotic plaques. Neovascularization may play an
additive role.
• Coronary thermography provides significant clinical
information, but still the limitations need to be obviated.
• Coronary sinus temperature measurement may provide
information regarding the vulnerable patient.
• The ideal scenario would be the combination of thermography
and imaging techniques for the identification of the vulnerable
plaque.
