Visualization of Plaque Erosion With Laser Angioscopy. [PDF]
JACC Case RepBACKGROUND: Plaque erosions are distinct pathological entities in patients with acute cardiovascular events. However, high resolution visualization by currently available imaging modalities in patients is limited. CASE SUMMARY: A 79-year-old man presented to the hospital with left-sided paresis concerning for ischemic stroke. The etiology was suspected

Lipid Content Distribution and its Clinical Implication in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction-Plaque Erosion: Results from the Prospective OCTAMI Study. [PDF]
J Atheroscler Thromb, 2023 Aims: Plaque erosion (PE) is one of the main plaque phenotypes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the underlying plaque component and distribution have not been systematically analysed. This study aims to investigate the distribution of lipid and

In vivo detection of plaque erosion by intravascular optical coherence tomography using artificial intelligence. [PDF]
Biomed Opt Express, 2022 Plaque erosion is one of the most common underlying mechanisms for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows in vivo diagnosis of plaque erosion. However, challenge remains due to high inter- and intra-observer variability.

Plaque erosion causing ST-elevation myocardial infarction after consumption of cannabis and N2O in a 27-year old man: a case report. [PDF]
BMC Cardiovasc Disord, 2021 Background The recreational drugs cannabis and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) are known for pro-atherogenic effects and are associated with an elevated risk of myocardial infarction. These cardiovascular effects might be underestimated by the public.

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2021 The aim of this study was to compare the level of coronary inflammation between plaque rupture and plaque erosion using pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation.Vascular inflammation plays a key role in plaque rupture, while the role of inflammation in plaque erosion remains less well defined. PCAT attenuation determined using computed tomography

A Nrf2-OSGIN1&2-HSP70 axis mediates cigarette smoke-induced endothelial detachment: implications for plaque erosion. [PDF]
Cardiovasc Res, 2023 Aims Endothelial erosion of plaques is responsible for ∼30% of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Smoking is a risk factor for plaque erosion, which most frequently occurs on the upstream surface of plaques where the endothelium experiences elevated shear ...
