Issues of Nomenclature Coronary plaque disruption and subsequent thrombosis is the major recognized pathogenetic component of “unstable plaques,” which characterize the transition from stable coronary artery disease (CAD) to ACS.

Therefore, many inflammatory biomarkers and enzymes have been suggested a...

متن کامل[From vulnerable plaque to vulnerable patient].
Atherosclerotic plaque instability is directly involved in triggering acute coronary syndromes, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, and sudden coronary death. Different and not completely unknown mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of the destabilisation of the vulnerable plaque; currently three mechanisms are considered to play a causal role in this process: emboliz...
