Lean mass hyper-responders with a higher initial plaque score may have a reason for concern regarding plaque progression.

“And so the people that had more plaque on the first scan were the ones that tended to go up more during the year. And I think that is interesting, right? And um it might be a caution, right? Again, because maybe not all lean mass hyperresponders are the same either. And you know, if you're a lean mass hyperresponder with more plaque to start with, maybe there is reason to be concerned.”
