Abstract

A method that detects coronary atherosclerotic plaques vulnerable to rupture could become a valuable tool for guiding management of patients at risk for acute myocardial infarction. In the majority of cases, plaque vulnerability is characterized by 1) the presence of activated macrophages at the shoulder or edge of the plaque, 2) a thin fibrous cap (<60μm) and 3) a large lipid pool.1
