CI = confidence interval; IVUS = intravascular ultrasonography. Figure Legend:

Direct thrombus imaging demonstrates high signal in a large right common carotid artery plaque in the first patient (A, arrowheads), which is absent in a similarly large plaque in the left common carotid artery in the second patient (D, arrowheads). Noncontrast angiograms (B and E, arrows) and contrast-enhanced angiograms (C and F) demonstrate no significant stenosis in either patient. Figure Legend:

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol efflux capacity is significantly protective of coronary heart disease (CHD). CI = confidence interval; LDL = low- density lipoprotein. Figure Legend:
