Optical coherence tomography-guided deferred stenting in acute coronary syndromes
Journal of Indian College of Cardiology, 2022 Acute coronary syndromes were thought to be due to plaque rupture with superimposed thrombus. With optical coherence tomography plaque erosion (PE) can be detected in one third of cases. In young patients without major risk factors one can suspect PE. We

MINOCA caused by plaque erosion
Srce i krvni sudovi, 2021 Introduction. According to clinical studies, the prevalence of acute myocardial infraction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is around 5%. MINOCA can be triggered by various atherosclerotic and nonatherosclerotic causes with heterogenous pathophysiological mechanisms.

The Applications of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Atherosclerotic Disease
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Atherosclerosis still is the primary cause of death worldwide. Our characterization of the atherosclerotic lesion is mainly rooted in definitions based on pathological descriptions.

Immune Mechanisms of Plaque Instability
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Inflammation crucially drives atherosclerosis from disease initiation to the emergence of clinical complications. Targeting pivotal inflammatory pathways without compromising the host defense could compliment therapy with lipid-lowering agents, anti ...
