The immune system in atherosclerosis and in acute myocardial infarction

Heart International, 2006
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs when the atheromatous process prevents total blood flow through the coronary artery. It was previously thought that progressive luminal narrowing from the continued growth of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the ...

A mathematical model for smooth muscle cell phenotype switching in atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]

arXiv
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a fundamental role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques. SMCs may ingest lipids in a similar way to monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) in the plaque. This can stimulate SMCs to undergo a phenotypic switch towards a macrophage-like phenotype.

Anatomical variation of the aorta in the West of Scotland – A population with high cardiovascular disease burden. Implications for stent design and deployment

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 1, Page 112-120, January 2023., 2023
A population with a high cardiovascular disease burden was found to have a high degree of anatomical variation in the aortic arch (angulation from coronal plane, origin of the vertebral artery) and the abdominal aorta regions (high degree of taper, high number of collaterals and tortuous vessels).

TEAD1‐Mediated Trans‐Differentiation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells into Fibroblast‐Like Cells Contributes to the Stabilization and Repair of Disrupted Atherosclerotic Plaques

Advanced Science
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture mainly contributes to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Insufficient repair of these plaques leads to thrombosis and subsequent ACS. Central to this process is the modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotypes,

Systemic lupus erythematosus and cardiovascular disease

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 293, Issue 1, Page 48-62, January 2023., 2023
Abstract The prognosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has improved due to better treatment and care, but cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains an important clinical problem, since the risk of CVD in SLE is much higher than among controls.

Intracoronary Imaging in the Management of a Complex and Recurrent Acute Coronary Syndrome Associated With Multiple Comorbidities. A Case Report

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2017
Coronary artery disease represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. Unstable angina pectoris is a serious manifestation of ischemic heart disease and represents an acute condition caused by the narrowing of the coronary lumen as
