Non-photosynthetic plastids lack the ability for light harvesting, photochemical reactions, and chlorophyll biosynthesis, whereas a part of the photosynthesis-related biosynthesis pathways is often retained.
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is most commonly adapted for screening, but current tools lack the ability for risk stratification based on grayscale plaque morphology.
