Myeloperoxidase and plaque vulnerability.
Inflammation and the Vulnerable Plaque Sudden cardiac death remains the leading cause of mortality in industrialized societies, outpacing all cancer related deaths combined. The majority of sudden cardiac deaths arise from acute myocardial infarction secondary to intracoronary artery thromboses. Remarkably, the culprit lesions involved are typically not flow-limiting stenoses,1,2 but rather inf...
متن کاملInflammation and plaque vulnerability.
Atherosclerosis is a maladaptive, nonresolving chronic inflammatory disease that occurs at sites of blood flow disturbance. The disease usually remains silent until a breakdown of integrity at the arterial surface triggers the formation of a thrombus. By occluding the lumen, the thrombus or emboli detaching from it elicits ischaemic symptoms that may be life-threatening. Two types of surface da...

The treatment of acute coronary syndromes, including acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina, has been one of the most successful contributions in the last 20 years to the improvement of medicine. However, we are still unable to predict them, and therefore to prevent occurrence of acute myocardial infarction and/or death. Major improvements have been made in an effort to understand the ...
متن کاملMechanisms Converting a Stable Plaque to a Vulnerable Plaque Lesional Cell Death Triggers Plaque Vulnerability
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall, arising from an imbalance in lipid metabolism and a maladaptive inflammatory response. In recent decades, atherosclerosis-related arterial diseases have become the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. Despite emerging anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering treatments, which may reduce acute coronary syndrome (ACS),...
