New data suggest Twist1-driven atherosclerotic plaques may enhance stability rather than rupture risk. Learn how this ...
Scientists have uncovered new details about the mechanisms that cause plaques in arteries to rupture, paving the way for new tests to predict which patients are most at risk of a heart attack or ...
Washington DC - The formation of new blood vessels around an atherosclerotic plaque appears to play a major role in plaque rupture, and antiangiogenic drugs may therefore represent a new therapeutic ...
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 ...
