Abstract Purpose To highlight the role of multislice CT coronary angiography with its new applications such as reformatted images, and high resolution imaging, regarding coronary plaque composition and prevalence in dyslipidemic and non dyslipidemic patients Methods The study included 30 patients, 15 non dyslipidemic and 15 dyslipidemic patients. Each patient included in the study was subjected to full history taking, reviewing medical sheet. CTCA was performed for all patients followed by analysis of the plaque composition and percent stenosis using the axial images and multiplanar reconstruction. Results It was found that dyslipidemic patients had more plaque burden than non dyslipidemic. The dyslipidemic patients were more liable for multiple and soft plaques, mainly appreciated at the distal segment of the coronary arteries while non dyslipidemic were more liable for single and calcific/mixed plaques. Thus, may encourage the clinician to use lipid lower drugs as primary or secondary intervention for CAD.
