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 ...
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 ...
Individuals with hepatic steatosis appeared to have higher amounts of noncalcified coronary plaque and were almost twice as ...
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 ...
