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.

Fibrous Cap Thickness by Optical Coherence Tomography In Vivo.
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2017 Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is considered to be the only imaging modality with sufficient resolution to measure fibrous cap thickness (FCT) in vivo. However, reproducibility of the measurements in vivo has been unsatisfactory.The authors aimed to investigate whether satisfactory reproducibility of FCT measurements by OCT in vivo can be ...

Fluorescence Analysis of Biochemical Constituents Identifies Atherosclerotic Plaque With a Thin Fibrous Cap [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2002 Vulnerable plaque generally contains a thin fibrous cap, lipid pools, and reduced internal plaque collagen. Arterial fluorescence analysis can differentiate atherosclerotic lesions from normal arteries; however, the contribution of the lipid core to atherosclerotic arterial fluorescence remains controversial.

eLife, 2021 Plaque rupture occurs if stress within coronary lesions exceeds the protection exerted by the fibrous cap overlying the necrotic lipid core. However, very little is known about the biomechanical stress exerting this disrupting force.

Optical Coherence Tomography and Fibrous Cap Characterization [PDF]
Current Cardiovascular Imaging Reports, 2011 The pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes has long been associated with atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Inflammation, thinning, and disruption of the fibrous cap have been implicated with the final processes leading to plaque rupture, but confirmation of these mechanisms of coronary thrombosis in humans has been hampered by the lack of imaging ...

Gender-based in vivo comparison of culprit plaque characteristics and plaque microstructures using optical coherence tomography in acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2021 Introduction: Women perform worse after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) than men. The reason for these differences is unclear. The aim was to ascertain gender differences in the culprit plaque characteristics in ACS.
