<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Lumen [[stenosis]] that is greater than 75% was considered the hallmark of clinically significant disease in the past because recurring episodes of [[Angina pectoris|angina]] and abnormalities in [[Cardiac stress test|stress tests]] are only detectable at that particular severity of stenosis.<br />
However, clinical trials have shown that only about 14% of clinically debilitating events occur at sites with more than 75% stenosis. The majority of cardiovascular events that involve sudden rupture of the atheroma plaque do not display any evident narrowing of the lumen.<br />
Thus, greater attention has been focused on "vulnerable plaque" from the late 1990s onwards.</div>FuzzyBot
