Pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes.
Experimental models of atherogenesis have provided a growing body of information about molecular mechanisms of plaque growth; however, transition from coronary stability to instability is less well understood due to the lack of animal models reflective of human disease. The abrupt clinical presentation of acute coronary syndromes gives a strong signal of discontinuity in the natural history of ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of C-Reactive Protein in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...
متن کاملCurrent concepts of the pathogenesis of the acute coronary syndromes.
The last decade has witnessed a major reassessment of our perceptions about the acute coronary syndromes. Today, we recognize that thrombosis underlies most acute complications of atherosclerosis, notably unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction. A consensus has emerged that inflammation plays a decisive role in the pathophysiology of these acute thrombotic events (Figure 1). Knowledge o...
متن کاملPathogenesis of the acute coronary syndromes and therapeutic implications.
Atherosclerosis is characterized by the thickening and obstruction of the arterial lumen and thrombosis associated with vulnerable disrupted plaques seems to be responsible for the accelerated process of clinical syndrome presentation. Strategies to promote plaque stabilization and reduce thrombus burden have been one of the major targets of recent times. Modification of diet and lifestyle has ...
متن کاملAcute coronary syndromes. I. Recent advances in pathogenesis.
New knowledge on the pathogenesis of the acute coronary syndromes provides the clinician with a better understanding of these important, often life-threatening, events and opens up new ways of managing them. The identification of the vulnerable plaque whilst important and possible pathologically still requires elaborate and often invasive methods. The central role of inflammation and the platel...
