Mechanisms of Acute Coronary Syndromes and Their Implications for Therapy
TL;DR: The notion that heart attacks develop from coronary-artery stenosis is an oversimplification of a process involving lipid metabolism, inflammation, macrophage activation, collagen breakdown, and plaque rupture.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease
TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

Inflammation in atherosclerosis
TL;DR: The new appreciation of the role of inflammation in atherosclerosis provides a mechanistic framework for understanding the clinical benefits of lipid-lowering therapies and unravelling the details of inflammatory pathways may eventually furnish new therapeutic targets.

Inflammation, Atherosclerosis, and Coronary Artery Disease
TL;DR: The evidence is recounted that atherosclerosis, the main cause of CAD, is an inflammatory disease in which immune mechanisms interact with metabolic risk factors to initiate, propagate, and activate lesions in the arterial tree.

TL;DR: The addition of the measurement of C-reactive protein to screening based on lipid levels may provide an improved method of identifying persons at risk for cardiovascular events.
