Imaging Inflammation in Patients and Animals: Focus on PET Imaging the Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) describes a range of conditions associated with the rupture of high-risk or vulnerable plaque. Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is associated with many changes in its microenvironment which could potentially cause rapid ...

Insulin resistance, vulnerable plaque and stroke risk in patients with carotid artery stenosis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsInsulin resistance (IR) is linked to both the vulnerable plaque and the stroke risk. However, the precise extent of this correlation and its impact on stroke risk in carotid artery stenosis patients remain unclear.

Vulnerable Plaque in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: Identification, Importance, and Management [PDF]
US Cardiology Review, 2022 MI is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Coronary artery thrombosis is the final pathologic feature of the most cases of acute MI primarily caused by atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. The concept of vulnerable plaque has evolved

Coronary Atherosclerotic Vulnerable Plaque: Current Perspectives
Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017 Atherosclerosis is the most common form of vascular disease and constitutes the major cause of death, with 17.5 million related deaths annually (31% of global mortality).[1][1] Atherosclerotic plaque represents the hallmark lesion of atherosclerosis ...

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2023 Atherosclerotic plaques progress as a result of inflammation. Both invasive and noninvasive imaging techniques have been developed to identify and characterize plaque as vulnerable (more likely to rupture and cause a clinical event). Imaging techniques to identify vulnerable include identifying vessels with focal subendothelial collections of I ...

Identification and treatment of the vulnerable coronary plaque [PDF]
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Acute coronary syndrome mostly arises from rupture or erosion of a vulnerable plaque. Vulnerable plaques typically appear as lipid-rich plaques with a thin cap, called thin-cap fibroatheromas.
