A member asked:

What does this mean: "dominant concentric soft plaque in proximal rca causing moderate to marked stenosis"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What does this term : It is simply a description of what the person reading the scan thought the area of the diseased vessel looked like. The amount of blockage is usually the most useful feature of the report with the description being of secondary importance.
