The Spatial Distribution of Plaque Vulnerabilities in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
OBJECTIVE:Although the plaque characteristics have been recognized in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the plaque spatial distribution is not well clarified.

Atherosclerotic plaque features relevant to rupture-risk detected by clinical photon-counting CT ex vivo: a proof-of-concept study

European Radiology Experimental
Background To identify subjects with rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques before thrombotic events occur is an unmet clinical need. Thus, this proof-of-concept study aims to determine which rupture-prone plaque features can be detected using clinically ...

Rupture du long fléchisseur du pouce : complication rare de l´ostéosynthèse par plaque anatomique palmaire du radius distal

PAMJ Clinical Medicine, 2020
La rupture du long fléchisseur du pouce secondaire à une ostéosynthèse par plaque palmaire est très rare. Elle est généralement due à la proéminence et/ou la position distale de la plaque. Son diagnostic est facile.

Identification of potential clinical indicators of carotid plaque disruption using patient specific finite element modelling [PDF]

, 2011
It has been hypothesised that the stress distribution within the arterial wall may provide an indicator of atherosclerotic plaque disruption.

The mechanical triggers of plaque rupture: Shear stress vs pressure gradient

, 2009
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical triggers that may cause plaque rupture. Wall shear stress (WSS) and pressure gradient are the direct mechanical forces acting on the plaque in a stenotic artery.

Is cadmium exposure associated with the burden, vulnerability and rupture of human atherosclerotic plaques?

PLoS ONE, 2015
The general population is exposed to cadmium from food and smoking. Cadmium is a widely spread toxic pollutant that seems to be associated with cardiovascular diseases, although little is known if it contributes to the occurrence of atherosclerotic ...

New insights into fibrous cap thickness of vulnerable plaques assessed by optical coherence tomography

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Objective Vulnerable plaques with fibrous cap thickness (FCT) of ≤65 μm are prone to rupture and/or thrombosis. However, plaques with FCT > 65 μm cause acute myocardial infarction and even sudden death. We aimed to investigate the relationship between 65

Biomarkers of Atherosclerotic Plaque Instability and Rupture [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2007
Basic research over the last two decades has identified a large number of molecules pertinent to the atherosclerotic process, which have clearly improved our understanding of the underlying pathology. It is now well established that inflammation represents a major feature which is present in the vessel wall throughout all stages of the disease until ...

Association between apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio and coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: an intravascular optical coherence tomography study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2021
Background Apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 and Apo B are strongly associated with the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the relationship between the Apo B/A1 ratio and the morphology of coronary vulnerable plaques has not been ...

Effect of calcification on the mechanical stability of plaque based on a three-dimensional carotid bifurcation model

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012
Background This study characterizes the distribution and components of plaque structure by presenting a three-dimensional blood-vessel modelling with the aim of determining mechanical properties due to the effect of lipid core and calcification within a ...
