A large number of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) events originate from plaques with an intact fibrous cap (IFC). In this Review, Kanwar et al. provide an overview of the latest advances in our understanding of plaque morphology in ACS with IFC, reviewing contemporary data from multimodality imaging. They also discuss whether the use of such imaging might result in more effective management of patients with ACS.
