Chlamydia pneumoniae and atherosclerotic plaque.
To the Editor-According to Campbell et al. [1] in their recent study of Chlamydia pneumoniae in coronary tissue, staining with a Chlamydia-specific monoclonal antibody detected chlamydiae in 45% of the atherectomy specimens from patients with atherosclerotic plaque. However, staining appeared only in macrophages; smooth muscle cells did not stain, a result that appears to contradict previous fi...
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...

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...
متن کامل4 Atherosclerotic plaque rupture
The arterial system is more than an intricate plumbing system for the transport of blood; it is a highly complex organ that interacts with its environment. The major function of the vessel wall, and more specifically the endothelial lining, is to maintain an adequate blood supply to the end organ that it is supplying. This is achieved by regulatory mechanisms that control vascular tone, inflamm...
