This may result in formation of a ipid-rich neointima, and the lipid core so created is referred to as nouveau atherosclerosis; the ...

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...

The search for the vulnerable plaque has been a prolonged, circuitous journey that despite considerable investment and resource expenditure has hitherto failed to alter clinical practice. The rationale remains enticing. We have known for some time that plaques at risk of rupture and precipitating myocardial infarction and stroke have certain characteristics that extend beyond simple stenosis se...
متن کاملImaging the vulnerable plaque.
Cardiovascular diseases are still the primary causes of mortality in the United States and in Western Europe. Arterial thrombosis is triggered by a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque and precipitates an acute vascular event, which is responsible for the high mortality rate. These rupture-prone plaques are called "vulnerable plaques." During the past decades, much effort has been put toward accurat...

Plaque Progression: Often Abrupt, Rarely Predictable Some facts are now certain. First, plaque progression and clinical outcome are not always closely related, and each is poorly predicted by clinical and angiographic variables.1–4 Second, many plaques progress episodically because of episodes of thrombosis triggered by rupture, erosion (denudation), or occasionally endothelial activation or in...
