Is there a vulnerable plaque?
Issues of Nomenclature Coronary plaque disruption and subsequent thrombosis is the major recognized pathogenetic component of “unstable plaques,” which characterize the transition from stable coronary artery disease (CAD) to ACS. However, in the presence of unstable or even stable plaques, a thrombogenic state or “high-risk blood” may contribute, at least in some cases, to the development of AC...
متن کاملIs there life after plaque rupture?
Little is known of the relationship between plaque rupture and adaptive geometric remodelling, especially in the context of unstable atherosclerosis. We have assessed remodelling in the proximal brachiocephalic arteries of fat-fed apoE (apolipoprotein E)-knockout mice. The rate of vessel expansive remodelling is similar in vessels with plaques and without plaques, suggesting that the presence o...
متن کاملAre there really biomarkers of vulnerable plaque?
The rationale for the search of biomarkers of vulnerable plaques seems sound. Plaque rupture is a key step in the initiation of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The atherosclerotic plaque contains large numbers of inflammatory cells that may release hydrolytic enzymes and cytokines, thereby destabilizing the plaque (1 ). Therefore, many inflammatory biomarkers and enzymes have been suggested a...
متن کاملCarotid Plaque Age Is a Feature of Plaque Stability Inversely Related to Levels of Plasma Insulin
BACKGROUND The stability of atherosclerotic plaques determines the risk for rupture, which may lead to thrombus formation and potentially severe clinical complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Although the rate of plaque formation may be important for plaque stability, this process is not well understood. We took advantage of the atmospheric (14)C-declination curve (a result of...
متن کاملMechanisms Converting a Stable Plaque to a Vulnerable Plaque Lesional Cell Death Triggers Plaque Vulnerability
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall, arising from an imbalance in lipid metabolism and a maladaptive inflammatory response. In recent decades, atherosclerosis-related arterial diseases have become the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. Despite emerging anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering treatments, which may reduce acute coronary syndrome (ACS),...
