Numerical modeling of experimental human fibrous cap delamination. [PDF]
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater, 2016 Fibrous cap delamination is a critical process during the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, which often leads to severe life-threatening clinical consequences such as myocardial infarction or stroke. In this study a finite element modeling and simulation approach is presented that enables the study of fibrous cap delamination experiments for the ...

Plaque geometry: determinant for fibrous cap stress levels [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2011 In clinical practice, the risk of cerebrovascular events originating from carotid atherosclerotic plaques is correlated to the degree of luminal narrowing, commonly designated the degree of stenosis. Though the degree of stenosis is a proven marker of plaque vulnerability, it is widely recognized that better risk markers for cerebrovascular events are ...

Molecular Markers, Fibrous Cap Rupture, and the Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2001 The study by Faber et al1 in this issue of Circulation Research uses subtraction suppression hybridization (SSH) to identify genes specific to the ruptured atherosclerotic plaque. This article may represent the early days in the oncoming studies of advanced atherosclerosis, a surprisingly neglected area of study.

Matrix vesicles in the fibrous cap of atherosclerotic plaque: possible contribution to plaque rupture [PDF]
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2008 AbstractPlaque rupture is the most common type of plaque complication and leads to acute ischaemic events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Calcification has been suggested as a possible indicator of plaque instability. Although the role of matrix vesicles in the initial stages of arterial calcification has been recognized, no studies have yet ...
