Background: Coronary biomechanical stress contributes to the plaque
rupture and subsequent events. This study aimed to investigate the impact of
plaque biomechanical stability on the physiological progression of intermediate
lesions, as assessed by the radial wall strain (RWS) derived from coronary
angiography. Methods: Patients with at least one medically treated
intermediate lesion at baseline who underwent follow-up coronary angiography over
6 months were included. The maximal RWS (RWS
