The relation between atherosclerosis plaque composition and plaque rupture [PDF]
Journal of Medical Signals and Sensors, 2020 Background: Intima, media, and adventitia are three layers of arteries. They have different structures and different mechanical properties. Damage to intima layer of arteries leads to an inflammatory response, which is usually the reason for ...

Coronary plaque composition influences biomechanical stress and predicts plaque rupture in a morpho-mechanic OCT analysis [PDF]
eLife, 2021 Plaque rupture occurs if stress within coronary lesions exceeds the protection exerted by the fibrous cap overlying the necrotic lipid core. However, very little is known about the biomechanical stress exerting this disrupting force.

Plaque Structural Stress: Detection, Determinants and Role in Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture and Progression [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Atherosclerosis remains a major cause of death worldwide, with most myocardial infarctions being due to rupture or erosion of coronary plaques. Although several imaging modalities can identify features that confer risk, major adverse cardiovascular event

Mechanisms of Plaque Formation and Rupture [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2014 Atherosclerosis causes clinical disease through luminal narrowing or by precipitating thrombi that obstruct blood flow to the heart (coronary heart disease), brain (ischemic stroke), or lower extremities (peripheral vascular disease). The most common of these manifestations is coronary heart disease, including stable angina pectoris and the acute ...

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.

Parallel Murine and Human Plaque Proteomics Reveals Pathways of Plaque Rupture. [PDF]
Circ Res, 2020 Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Rationale: Plaque rupture is the proximate cause of most myocardial infarctions and many strokes. However, the molecular mechanisms that precipitate plaque rupture are unknown. Objective: By applying

Macrophage infiltration in acute coronary syndromes. Implications for plaque rupture. [PDF]
Circulation, 1994 BackgroundRupture of atherosclerotic plaques is probably the most important mechanism underlying the sudden onset of acute coronary syndromes. Macrophages may release lytic enzymes that degrade the fibrous cap and therefore produce rupture of the ...
