Thermal detection of vulnerable plaque

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2002
In 1996, we showed that inflamed atherosclerotic plaques give off more heat and that vulnerable plaques may be detected by measuring their temperature. Plaque temperature is correlated directly with inflammatory cell density and inversely with the distance of the cell clusters from the luminal surface.

The vulnerable patient: Refocusing on the plaque?

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2009
SummaryThe term ‘vulnerable plaque’ is used to refer to the lesions that are prone to rupture and may cause life-threatening events like acute coronary syndrome or stroke.The study of the vulnerable plaque phenotype and its detection has attracted increasing interest over the past decades.

Identification of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2003
There has been great interest in the possibility of identifying plaques that might be the site of future acute coronary events. These plaques are termed vulnerable and the majority are lipid-rich with an abundance of inflammatory cells and a thin fibrous cap.

MRI of vulnerable plaque

Current Cardiovascular Imaging Reports, 2009
Atherosclerosis is a systemic inflammatory disease resulting in vascular complications such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Noninvasive imaging of early stages of this systemic disease could help guide early interventional or medical therapies.

Biologic aspects of vulnerable plaque

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2002
Atherosclerosis and its thrombotic complications are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized world. The progression of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary circulation is modulated by several risk factors. It is now clear that plaque composition is a major determinant of plaque disruption and superimposed thrombosis.

Visualization of the Vulnerable Plaque

2006
Thrombosis is the main cause of acute coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction (Naghavi et al., 2003). The mechanism underlying thrombus formation is presently under debate, but several pathological conditions have been identified fromhuman postmortem studies that correspondwith the presence of thrombus.
