Atherosclerotic plaque rupture in symptomatic carotid artery stenosis

, 1996
Purpose: Plaque rupture is often the precipitating event in acute coronary syndromes. We hypothesized that a similar process occurs in stenotic carotid plaques in association with ischemic neurologic symptoms.

TEAD1‐Mediated Trans‐Differentiation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells into Fibroblast‐Like Cells Contributes to the Stabilization and Repair of Disrupted Atherosclerotic Plaques

Advanced Science
Atherosclerotic plaque rupture mainly contributes to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Insufficient repair of these plaques leads to thrombosis and subsequent ACS. Central to this process is the modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotypes,

The immune system in atherosclerosis and in acute myocardial infarction

Heart International, 2006
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurs when the atheromatous process prevents total blood flow through the coronary artery. It was previously thought that progressive luminal narrowing from the continued growth of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the ...

Rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque: does a good animal model exist? [PDF]

, 2003
By its very nature, rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque is difficult to study directly in humans. A good animal model would help us not only to understand how rupture occurs but also to design and test treatments to prevent it from happening.

Is Plaque Rupture Always Responsible in Acute Coronary Syndrome?

, 2019
The majority cause of myocardial infarction is the atherothrombotic event, mainly cause by plaque rupture. Since the 20th century, it was found that the plaque rupture was not the solely condition responsible for the acute coronary syndrome.

Detection of Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]

, 2007
Heart attacks are the cause for the majority of deaths in the industrialized world. The underlying cause of most of these deaths is the rupture of vulnerable plaque.

Melatonin stabilizes atherosclerotic plaques: an association that should be clinically exploited

Frontiers in Medicine
Atherosclerosis is the underlying factor in the premature death of millions of humans annually. The cause of death is often a result of the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque followed by the discharge of the associated molecular debris into the vessel ...
