Lessons From Sudden Coronary Death A Comprehensive Morphological Classification Scheme for Atherosclerotic Lesions
TL;DR: This review will reconsider the current paradigm for understanding the critical, final steps in the progression of atherosclerotic lesions, and devise a simpler classification scheme that is consistent with the AHA categories but is easier to use, able to deal with a wide array of morphological variations, and not overly burdened by mechanistic implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
From vulnerable plaque to vulnerable patient: a call for new definitions and risk assessment strategies: Part II.

TL;DR: The term "vulnerable patient" may be more appropriate and is proposed now for the identification of subjects with high likelihood of developing cardiac events in the near future and a quantitative method for cumulative risk assessment of vulnerable patients needs to be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathology of the Vulnerable Plaque
TL;DR: Of the three types of coronary thrombosis, a precursor lesion for acute rupture has been postulated and the non-thrombosed lesion that most resembles the acute plaque rupture is the thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary Risk Factors and Plaque Morphology in Men with Coronary Disease Who Died Suddenly
TL;DR: Among men with coronary disease who die suddenly, abnormal serum cholesterol concentrations - particularly elevated ratios of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol - predispose patients to rupture of vulnerable plaques, whereas cigarette smoking predisposes patients to acute thrombosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: By contributing to the deposition of free cholesterol, macrophage infiltration, and enlargement of the necrotic core, the accumulation of erythrocyte membranes within an atherosclerotic plaque may represent a potent atherogenic stimulus that may increase the risk of plaque destabilization.
