Widespread Coronary Inflammation in Unstable Angina

New England Journal of Medicine, 2002
Inflammation within vulnerable coronary plaques may cause unstable angina by promoting rupture and erosion. In unstable angina, activated leukocytes may be found in peripheral and coronary-sinus blood, but it is unclear whether they are selectively activated in the vascular bed of the culprit stenosis.We measured the content neutrophil myeloperoxidase ...

Inflammation, Atherosclerosis, and Coronary Artery Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 2005
ecent research has shown that inflammation plays a key role in coronary artery disease (CAD) and other manifestations of atherosclerosis. Immune cells dominate early atherosclerotic lesions, their effector molecules accelerate progression of the lesions, and activation of inflammation can elicit acute coronary syndromes. This review highlights the role

Coronary Inflammation and Plaque Vulnerability: A Coronary Computed Tomography and Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023
Background: Vascular inflammation plays a key role in atherogenesis and in the development of acute coronary syndromes. Coronary inflammation can be measured by peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation on computed tomography angiography.

Inflammation and Coronary Artery Disease

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2003
Several evidences, ranging from in vitro experiments, pathologic analysis and epidemiologic studies, show that atherosclerosis is intrinsically an inflammatory disease. The plasma concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its hepatic by-product, C-Reactive Protein (CRP), appear to reflect the intensity of occult plaque inflammation and by inference ...

Coronary Stenting and Inflammation

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2005
Restenosis after stent implantation is mainly caused by neointimal proliferation through the stent struts. Experimental studies performed in the last decade indicate that inflammatory mechanisms play a key role in the process of neointimal proliferation and restenosis.

Inflammation and Acute Coronary Syndromes

Herz, 2000
The presence of inflammatory infiltrates in unstable coronary plaques suggests that inflammatory processes may contribute to the pathogenesis of these syndromes. In patients with unstable angina, coronary atherosclerotic plaques are characterized by the presence of macrophages, and to a lesser extent, T-lymphocytes, at the immediate site of either ...
