Shear stress, inflammation and Atherosclerosis
Artery Research, 2010 Background: Atherosclerosis is the disease with one of the largest mortalities of the Western world. An important cause of this high mortality rate is rupture of atherosclerotic plaques and subsequent total blockage of the vessel by thrombus.

Animal models for plaque rupture: a biomechanical assessment
, 2016 Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is the main cause of acute cardiovascular events. Animal models of plaque rupture are rare but essential for testing new imaging modalities to enable diagnosis of the patient at risk. Moreover, they enable the design of

From prevention to plaque rupture and infarction [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2015 ![Graphic][1] Statins are a cornerstone of cardiovascular prevention and are highly recommended in current guidelines.1 However, statin-associated muscle symptoms are one of the principal reasons for statin non-adherence and/or discontinuation,2 contributing to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The issue contains a timely Consensus Paper by Erik S.G.

Local atherosclerotic plaque composition and plaque rupture: An explorative study
, 2020 Introduction: Carotid atherosclerosis is characterized by the build-up of the so-called plaque tissue in the wall of the carotid artery. The rupture of carotid plaques can lead to acute manifestations, including ischemic stroke and transient ischaemic ...

Defining and defending murine models of plaque rupture
, 2007 There is general agreement that atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a major clinical problem and that finding ways to prevent it would be greatly facilitated by an animal model of plaque rupture.

Role of Cholesterol Crystals During Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cerebrovascular Accident
Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2017 Cholesterol crystals have long been recognized as part of atherosclerotic plaques. They have been visualized by light microscopy as empty spaces or imprints where crystals were once present and then dissolved by tissue processing.
