SEATTLE – University of Washington (UW) researchers have gathered evidence that dangerous plaques in blood vessels can rupture by overproducing protein-digesting enzymes. Plaques are fat-laden rough ...
A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University ...
Scientists have uncovered new details about the mechanisms that cause plaques in arteries to rupture, paving the way for new tests to predict which patients are most at risk of a heart attack or ...
(UPDATED) Using optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance to determine that a STEMI patient does not, in fact, have an occlusive lesion can significantly reduce the rate of stent implantation ...
Researchers have genetically sequenced carotid plaque tissue collected from patients within days after a stroke. When compared to stable plaque, researchers discovered the tissues from recent stroke ...
Stockholm, Sweden — Current research suggests that inflammation increases the risk of plaque rupture in atherosclerosis. The related report by Ovchinnikova et al, "T cell activation leads to reduced ...
A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University ...
Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Age-related vulnerable characteristics of pancoronary plaques in patients with ST-segment elevation ...
Researchers at UCLA Health have identified a key gene that may help explain why women are more likely than men to develop a ...
EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND — Positron-emission tomography (PET) can identify recently ruptured atherosclerotic plaques or those at risk of rupture in patients using the metabolic tracer 18 F-sodium fluoride ...
