The Association Between Plasma Hyaluronan Level and Plaque Types in ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: The metabolism of hyaluronan (HA) is widely known to be involved in the process of acute coronary syndrome, but it is unknown how circulating HA levels change in ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients and whether HA is ...

Can OCT change the therapeutic strategy in ACS due to plaque erosion?

Indian Heart Journal, 2021
The pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes was thought to be coronary thrombosis over a plaque rupture. Autopsy studies revealed that not all cases were due to plaque rupture, even denuded endothelium or calcific nodule can beget a thrombus ...

Plaque rupture complications in murine atherosclerotic vein grafts can be prevented by TIMP-1 overexpression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The current study describes the incidence and phenotype of plaque rupture complications in murine vein grafts. Since matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are highly involved in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and plaque rupture, we hypothesized that ...

Plaque Rupture in Humans and Mice [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2007
Despite the many studies of murine atherosclerosis, we do not yet know the relevance of the natural history of this model to the final events precipitated by plaque disruption of human atherosclerotic lesions. The literature has become particularly confused because of the common use of terms such as “instability”, “vulnerable”, “rupture”, or even ...

The detection of carotid plaque rupture caused by intraplaque hemorrhage by serial high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging: a case report. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Plaque rupture is believed to be a critical event that leads to thromboembolic complications in atherosclerotic carotid artery disease. Intraplaque hemorrhage can also cause fibrous cap disruption and may be related to the progression of ...

Live Observation of Atherosclerotic Plaque Disruption in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mouse

Ultrasound International Open, 2015
Aim: The actual occurrence of spontaneous plaque rupture in mice has been a matter of debate. We report on an in vivo observation of the actual event of possible plaque disruption in a living ApoE-/- mouse.

Seasonal Variations in the Pathogenesis of Acute Coronary Syndromes

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Seasonal variations in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) have been reported, with incidence and mortality peaking in the winter. However, the underlying pathophysiology for these variations remain speculative.

Prevalence, Features, and Prognosis of Artery‐to‐Artery Embolic ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background The major underlying mechanisms contributing to acute coronary syndrome are plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and calcified nodule. Artery‐to‐artery embolic myocardial infarction (AAEMI) was defined as ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction ...
