Low-molecular-weight heparins: an intriguing new twist with profound implications.
Modern antithrombotic therapy for acute coronary syndromes rests on a growing body of basic and clinical evidence that rupture or erosion of the surface of a vulnerable plaque sets in motion a sequence of events culminating in thrombus formation in the culprit vessel. When the contents of a vulnerable plaque are exposed to the bloodstream, platelets adhere to the subendothelial matrix, release ...
متن کاملA new paradigm for plaque stabilization.
The concept of plaque stabilization was developed to explain how lipid lowering could decrease adverse coronary events without a substantial reduction in the regression of atherosclerosis. Plaques were stabilized by reducing serum cholesterol leading to several favorable pathobiological changes in the vessel wall of lipid-rich plaques responsible for a majority of acute coronary events. However...
متن کاملUpdate on Antithrombotic Therapy Minimizing the Risks of Anticoagulants and Platelet Inhibitors
Thrombosis is a major contributor to the adverse outcomes associated with atherosclerotic disease. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) result when intravascular thrombosis occurs at the site of an atherosclerotic plaque rupture. In this setting, the use of anticoagulants and platelet inhibitors is life-saving, but these agents also contribute additional risks for bleeding. The risks and benefits of ...
متن کاملAdvances in Intravascular Imaging: New Insights into the Vulnerable Plaque from Imaging Studies
The term "vulnerable plaque" denotes the plaque characteristics that are susceptible to coronary thrombosis. Previous post-mortem studies proposed 3 major mechanisms of coronary thrombosis: plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and calcified nodules. Of those, characteristics of rupture-prone plaque have been extensively studied. Pathology studies have identified the features of rupture-prone plaque ...
