Is There a Vulnerable Plaque? [PDF]
Circulation, 2003 The identification of potential triggers of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represented by unstable angina (UA), myocardial infarction (MI) (preceded or not by UA), and sudden coronary death (SCD) is a rapidly growing area of research. Coronary plaque disruption and subsequent thrombosis is the major recognized pathogenetic component of “unstable ...

Echolucency of carotid plaques correlates with plaque cellularity [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2003 To analyse the relationship between carotid plaque echolucency and cellularity.Carotid plaques (14 symptomatic and 16 asymptomatic) were snap frozen after endarterectomy and defined on the basis of their grey-scale-median (GSM), obtained from pre-operative high-definition ultrasonography, as either echolucent (or=32). DNA and total soluble protein were

Sealing old plaques, seeding new plaques [PDF]
European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012 In stent restenosis (ISR) is a heterogeneous phenomenon. The classical paradigm is neointimal proliferation in response to vessel wall injury often in combination with incomplete stent expansion. Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been designed to reduce or eliminate hyperplasia and in fact dramatically reduced restenosis and target lesion ...

The relation between atherosclerosis plaque composition and plaque rupture
Journal of Medical Signals & Sensors, 2020 Intima, media, and adventitia are three layers of arteries. They have different structures and different mechanical properties. Damage to intima layer of arteries leads to an inflammatory response, which is usually the reason for atherosclerosis plaque formation. Atherosclerosis plaques mainly consist of smooth muscle cells and calcium. However, plaque

Orthopedic surgery increases atherosclerotic lesions and necrotic core area in ApoE-/- mice [PDF]
, 2016 Background and aims Observational studies show a peak incidence of cardiovascular events after major surgery. For example, the risk of myocardial infarction increases 25-fold early after hip replacement.
