It has previously been shown that analysis of coronary morphology can separate unstable from @entity5749 . An @entity850 with a @entity135 or irregular borders, or both, is very common in @entity1 who present with acute @entity1459 , whereas it is rare in @entity1 with @entity5749 . To extend these observations to @entity583 , the coronary morphology of 41 @entity1 with acute or recent @entity1188 and nontotally occluded @entity1188 vessels was studied. For all @entity1 , 27 (66%) of 41 @entity1188 vessels contained this eccentric narrowing, whereas only 2 (11%) of 18 noninfarct vessels with narrowing of 50 to less than 100% had this lesion (p less than 0.001). In addition, a separate group of @entity1 with acute @entity583 who underwent intracoronary streptokinase infusion were also analyzed in similar fashion. Fourteen (61%) of 23 @entity1188 vessels contained this lesion after streptokinase infusion compared with 1 (9%) of 11 noninfarct vessels with narrowing of 50 to less than 100% (p less than 0.01). Therefore, an @entity3979 with a @entity135 or irregular borders, or both, is the most common morphologic feature on angiography in both acute and recent @entity1188 as well as @entity1459 . This lesion probably represents either a disrupted @entity731 or a partially occlusive or lysed @entity715 , or both. The predominance of this morphology in both @entity1459 and acute @entity1188 suggests a possible link between these two conditions. @entity1459 and @entity583 may form a continuous spectrum with the clinical outcome dependent on the subsequent change in coronary supply relative to @entity296 .
