Coronary Plaque Characteristics and Underlying Mechanism of Acute Coronary Syndromes in Different Age Groups of Patients With Diabetes

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background High cardiovascular mortality has been reported in young patients with diabetes. However, the underlying pathology in different age groups of patients with diabetes has not been studied.

Putative Murine Models of Plaque Rupture [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2007
To be useful, animal models for human diseases must be well defined.1 Thus we are concerned that investigators will be mislead by the definitions and terminology used by Jackson et al1a to describe putative plaque rupture models in mice. We are especially concerned with their use of “acute plaque rupture” to describe murine lesions that do not mimic ...

Fatigue Crack Growth Under Pulsatile Pressure and Plaque Rupture

, 2014
Identification of vulnerable plaque pre-rupture is extremely important for patient risk stratification. The mechanism of plaque rupture is still not entirely clear, but it is thought to be a process involving multiple factors.

Increased Vascular Permeability Measured With an Albumin-Binding Magnetic Resonance Contrast Agent Is a Surrogate Marker of Rupture-Prone Atherosclerotic Plaque:MRI of Plaque Permeability and Instability [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Compromised structural integrity of the endothelium and higher microvessel density increase vascular permeability. We investigated whether vascular permeability measured in vivo by magnetic resonance imaging using the albumin-binding contrast

Biochemical Markers for Determining Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque in Stenotic Patient: Biochemical Markers Study of Myeloperoxidase (MPO), Matrix Metallo-Proteinase-9 (MMP-9), Secretory Phospholipase A2 (SPLA2) and CD40 Ligand

Indonesian Biomedical Journal, 2009
BACKGROUND: Thrombus is a main cause of cardiac death. Therefore identifying which coronary artery plaque is vulnerable to rupture is a critical step for cardiac intervention to prevent future cardiac events.

MRI of Atherothrombosis Associated With Plaque Rupture [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2005
Objective— MRI would be a valuable noninvasive diagnostic tool to study plaque-associated thrombi. We defined the imaging characteristics of these thrombi, composed primarily of platelets and fibrin, and distinguished them clearly from the vessel lumen and underlying atherosclerotic plaque in an ...

Involvement of Serum Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in the Pathogenesis of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Central Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Objectives: Prior studies indicate that matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plays a key role in pathogenesis of plaque rupture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the involvement of serum MMP-9 enzyme at pathogenesis of the plaque rupture in ...

Stress analysis of carotid atheroma in transient ischemic attack patients : evidence for extreme stress-induced plaque rupture

, 2011
Plaque rupture has been considered to be the result of its structural failure. The aim of this study is to suggest a possible link between higher stresses and rupture sites observed from in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of transient ischemic ...
