Coronary disease BASIC ASPECTS OF PLAQUE VULNERABILITY
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 کاملIn Vivo Molecular Imaging of Ruptured Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque Using IVUS, OCT, and FDG-PET/CT.
A n 83-year-old man was transferred to our hospital due to worsening effort angina pectoris. Electrocardiogram during chest pain at rest showed ST-segment elevation with hyperacute T waves and negative U waves in leads V2 through V4 (Figure 1A). Sublingual administration of nitroglycerin relieved him from chest pain, when electrocardiogram showed inverted T waves (Figure 1B). Biomarkers of myoc...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging of Carotid Plaque Vulnerability
Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been shown to be beneficial in patients with high-grade symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Patients with high-grade asymptomatic stenosis may only exceptionally benefit from CEA during periods of increased plaque vulnerability. Imaging modalities to characterize unstable, vulnerable plaques are strongly needed for better risk stratification in thes...
