Abstract

Rupture of atheromatous plaques leading to acute coronary syndromes usually occur in lipid-reach and well-developed coronary lesions. We describe 2 unusual patients with acute coronary syndromes in whom there was angiographic and intravascular ultrasound evidence of an intraluminal thrombus overlying a small, nonocclusive plaque in an enlarged coronary artery.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
