Aims Myocardial no reflow after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with poor outcome. Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) caused by plaque rupture are at high risk for no reflow.

Circulating microRNAs as potential biomarkers for coronary plaque rupture
Coronary plaque rupture is the most common cause of acute coronary syndrome. However, the timely biomarker-based diagnosis of plaque rupture remains a major unmet clinical challenge.

Weakly Supervised Deep Instance Nuclei Detection using Points Annotation in 3D Cardiovascular Immunofluorescent Images [PDF]
Two major causes of death in the United States and worldwide are stroke and myocardial infarction. The underlying cause of both is thrombi released from ruptured or eroded unstable atherosclerotic plaques that occlude vessels in the heart (myocardial infarction) or the brain (stroke). Clinical studies show that plaque composition plays a more important

Quasi-static responses of marine mussel plaques attached to deformable wet substrates under directional tensions [PDF]
Quantifying the response of marine mussel plaque attachment on wet surfaces remains a significant challenge to a mechanistic understanding of plaque adhesion. Here, we developed a customised microscopy system combined with two-dimensional (2D) in-situ digital image correlation (DIC) to quantify the in-plane deformation of a deformable substrate that ...

Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture: Identifying the Straw That Breaks the Camel's Back.
The idiom “the straw that breaks the camel’s back” describes scenarios where seemingly minor incidents eventuate in a sudden, unexpected, and often detrimental downfall.

Coronary Atherosclerosis Imaging
Identifying patients at increased risk of coronary artery disease, before the atherosclerotic complications become clinically evident, is the aim of cardiovascular prevention.

Cholesterol crystal embolization following plaque rupture: a systemic disease with unusual features
Cholesterol crystal embolic (CCE) syndrome is often a clinically challenging condition that has a poor prognostic implication. It is a result of plaque rupture with release of cholesterol crystals into the circulation that embolize into various tissue ...

Automated analysis of fibrous cap in intravascular optical coherence tomography images of coronary arteries [PDF]
Thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and plaque rupture have been recognized as the most frequent risk factor for thrombosis and acute coronary syndrome. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) can identify TCFA and assess cap thickness, which provides an opportunity to assess plaque vulnerability.
