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.

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).

Study on the association between neovascularization of culprit lesions and plaque rupture in patients with acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular DisordersBackground Neovascularization (NV) within plaques is widely recognized as an important indicator of plaque vulnerability; however, the relationship between NV and plaque rupture in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been extensively ...

Morphological and Stress Vulnerability Indices for Human Coronary Plaques and Their Correlations with Cap Thickness and Lipid Percent: An IVUS-Based Fluid-Structure Interaction Multi-patient Study. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Plaque vulnerability, defined as the likelihood that a plaque would rupture, is difficult to quantify due to lack of in vivo plaque rupture data. Morphological and stress-based plaque vulnerability indices were introduced as alternatives to obtain ...

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
