Plaque Rupture and Plaque Erosion

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1999
SummaryThere are multiple substrates for coronary thrombosis overlying an atherosclerotic plaque. The most common, plaque rupture, consists of an interruption of a thin fibrous cap overlying a lipid rich core. Plaque rupture is a result of macrophage infiltration and matrix degradation, is often seen in calcified plaques, and is highly associated with ...

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PLAQUE RUPTURE AND THE CONCEPT OF PLAQUE STABILIZATION

Cardiology Clinics, 1996
Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the major cause of death, in men and women, in the United States and in much of the Western world. Atherosclerosis is responsible for coronary heart disease, limb ischemia, and most strokes. Although luminal narrowing by an atherosclerotic plaque and exaggerated or anomalous vasoconstriction contribute to some

The Unstable Plaque

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2004
Ischaemic strokes and transient ischaemic attacks are commonly caused by cerebral embolism originating from formation of a platelet-rich thrombus superimposed on an atherosclerotic plaque or by atherothrombotic plaque rupture in a carotid or intracranial artery.

Plaque regrowth studies: discriminatory power of plaque index compared to plaque area

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1999
Abstract. A large number of plaque‐scoring methods exist for the evaluation of plaque inhibition by oral hygiene agents, products or devices. The ability of such methods to discriminate between high and low plaque scores has not been compared. In this retrospective analysis, the F‐ratios for differences between treatments for plaque index and area ...
