Biomechanics and inflammation in atherosclerotic plaque erosion and plaque rupture: implications for cardiovascular events in women. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Although plaque erosion causes approximately 40% of all coronary thrombi and disproportionally affects women more than men, its mechanism is not well understood.

Relationship of Microchannels and Plaque Erosion in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Cardiology Discovery, 2022
. Objective:. Microchannels are associated with the progression of atherosclerotic vulnerable plaques. However, in patients with culprit optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined plaque erosion, the knowledge of microchannels and culprit lesion ...

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.

The Association Between Plasma Hyaluronan Level and Plaque Types in ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: The metabolism of hyaluronan (HA) is widely known to be involved in the process of acute coronary syndrome, but it is unknown how circulating HA levels change in ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients and whether HA is ...

Vasospasm-Associated Plaque Erosion: A Case Report With Pathological Confirmation by Directional Coronary Atherectomy. [PDF]

JACC Case Rep
Plaque erosion is a significant cause of acute coronary syndromes, representing a distinct pathophysiological entity from plaque rupture. Coronary vasospasm is a suspected trigger for erosion, though its precise mechanisms are not fully understood. Furthermore, reports of its histopathological confirmation by directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) are ...

Identification of the haemodynamic environment permissive for plaque erosion. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
AbstractEndothelial erosion of atherosclerotic plaques is the underlying cause of approximately 30% of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). As the vascular endothelium is profoundly affected by the haemodynamic environment to which it is exposed, we employed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis of the luminal geometry from 17 patients with optical ...

Mechanisms of erosion of atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2017
Purpose of review The present review explores the mechanisms of superficial intimal erosion, a common cause of thrombotic complications of atherosclerosis. Recent findings Human coronary artery atheroma that give rise to thrombosis because of erosion differ diametrically from those ...

Morphological Plaque Characteristics and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and a Cancer History

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Although patients with a cancer history have a 2 to 3 times higher risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the morphological characteristics of ACS culprit plaque in those patients and their relations with clinical outcomes remain unknown ...

A Pad 4 Plaque Erosion [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2018
Despite the development of new intervention strategies, acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are among the leading cause of global mortality. ACS is predominantly caused by plaque rupture, which is the consequence of inflammatory processes within the atherosclerotic plaque that contribute to expansion of the necrotic core and thinning of the fibrous cap ...
