Role Of Metalloproteinases in Plaque Rupture
SUMMARYRupture of the fibrous cap over an atherosclerotic plaque is the main cause of myocardial infarctions and strokes. Plaques vulnerable to rupture have a relatively thin fibrous cap, are highly inflamed and contain less structural collagen.

The severity of coronary atherosclerosis at sites of plaque rupture with occlusive thrombosis
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture with superimposed thrombosis is recognized as the lesion causing >90% of acute myocardial infarctions. To determine the severity of atherosclerosis at the site of plaque rupture, 184 coronary arteries from autopsies of 162 ...
