Is There a Vulnerable Plaque? [PDF]

Circulation, 2003
The identification of potential triggers of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represented by unstable angina (UA), myocardial infarction (MI) (preceded or not by UA), and sudden coronary death (SCD) is a rapidly growing area of research. Coronary plaque disruption and subsequent thrombosis is the major recognized pathogenetic component of “unstable ...

Early‐onset Alzheimer's disease shows a distinct neuropsychological profile and more aggressive trajectories of cognitive decline than late‐onset

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1962-1973, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives Early‐ and late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD and LOAD) share the same neuropathological traits but show distinct cognitive features. We aimed to explore baseline and longitudinal outcomes of global and domain‐specific cognitive function in a well characterized cohort of patients with a biomarker‐based diagnosis.

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.

Neuroimaging of the Vulnerable Plaque [PDF]

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2015
Plaque vulnerability due to inflammation has been shown to be a participating factor in the degenerative process in the arterial wall that contributes to stenosis and embolism. This is believed to have an important role to play also in the genesis of stroke or cerebrovascular diseases.
