(2005) Atherosclerotic plaque progression and vulnerability to rupture: angiogenesis as a source of intraplaque hemorrhage. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 25: 2054–2061.

Inflammation within atherosclerotic plaques is one of the main drivers of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, which frequently leads to clinical events such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

Taurine treatment significantly decreased plaque areas in the carotid artery, reduced Masson's Trichrome staining, and lowered the ratio of anti-α-SMA to anti-CD68 staining in ApoE −/− mice.

Atherosclerotic plaque formation constitutes a net matrix deposition, in part mediated by VSMC migration and proliferation. Until now the evidence for MMP-2 activation and MMP-9 upregulation ...

The new knowledge about genetic influence on plaque cells can be used together with modern diagnostic imaging and AI to make ...

For those who haven’t entered the valley of middle age, a CAC is a specialized CT scan that looks for calcium deposits in the ...

A medical technique known as orbital atherectomy can be used to modify hardened atherosclerotic plaque inside coronary ...

An important mechanism responsible for the sudden and unpredictable onset of acute thrombosis is plaque rupture. [1] The risk of rupture depends more on the plaque's composition rather than its ...
