Mobile complex atherosclerotic aortic plaque.
To cite: Bajaj R, Chhabra L, Kruger M, et al. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013009542 DESCRIPTION A 64-year-old man with a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and transient ischaemic attack was admitted with complaints of palpitations and fatigue. He was found to be having AF with sustained rapid ventricular response. He had failed ra...
متن کاملIntravascular magnetic resonance imaging of aortic atherosclerotic plaque composition.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be an excellent tool to define atherosclerotic plaque composition, but surface MRI (SMRI) suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio and low resolution of arterial images. Intravascular MRI (IVMRI) represents a potential solution for acquiring high-quality in vivo images of atherosclerotic plaques. Isolated segments of 11 thoracic human aortas obtained at auto...
متن کاملAtherosclerotic Plaque Rupture
The idiom “the straw that breaks the camel’s back” describes scenarios where seemingly minor incidents eventuate in a sudden, unexpected, and often detrimental downfall. In the case of atherosclerosis, over time multiple subclinical cellular events result in the development of unstable, vulnerable atherosclerotic lesions, which leads to the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques, culminating in the...
متن کاملThe atherosclerotic plaque.
Atherosclerosis is the most frequent cause of ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disorders. The condition is the leading cause of death in Western societies. At the core of this condition is the atherosclerotic plaque. It is within the structure of this lesion that multiple biochemical and cellular processes interact influencing its vulnerability to rupture and as a result acute ischemi...
متن کاملAtherosclerotic Plaque Rupture
It is generally established that the unstable plaque is the major cause of acute clinical sequelae of atherosclerosis. Unfortunately, terms indicating lesions prone to plaque instability, such as “vulnerable plaque,” and the different phenotypes of unstable plaques, such as plaque rupture, plaque fissuring, intraplaque hemorrhage, and erosion, are often used interchangeably. Moreover, the diffe...
