Mechanisms of erosion of atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]
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 ...

Reviewing imaging modalities for the assessment of plaque erosion [PDF]
Plaque rupture followed by intracoronary thrombus formation is recognized as the most common pathophysiological mechanism in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The second most common underlying substrate for ACS is plaque erosion whose hallmark is thrombus formation without cap disruption. Invasive and non-invasive methods have emerged as a promising tool

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 ...

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 ...

Kounis syndrome (KS) presents as acute coronary syndrome caused by an allergic reacti-on or anaphylaxis. The mechanism of KS involves the release of inflammatory cytokines through mast cell activation leading to coronary artery vasospasm and atheromatous

Seasonal Variations in the Pathogenesis of Acute Coronary Syndromes
Background Seasonal variations in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) have been reported, with incidence and mortality peaking in the winter. However, the underlying pathophysiology for these variations remain speculative.
