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 ...

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.

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004 The notion of “vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque” introduced many years ago1,2 has been since used frequently and liberally, including by this investigator.3 We generally use this phrase to refer to intact lesions that look similar to those previously found to be disrupted and complicated by thrombosis on pathological examination.

Inflammation and plaque vulnerability [PDF]
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2015 AbstractAtherosclerosis is a maladaptive, nonresolving chronic inflammatory disease that occurs at sites of blood flow disturbance. The disease usually remains silent until a breakdown of integrity at the arterial surface triggers the formation of a thrombus.

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.

Requiem for the ‘vulnerable plaque’ [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2015 The concept of the so-called ‘vulnerable plaque’ has proved highly useful to guide research and thinking regarding the pathophysiology of the acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Yet, the time may have come to reconsider this construct, as knowledge has accumulated, the risk profile of the populace has shifted, and our current therapies have reshaped the ...
