Elevated Levels of Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein Show a Positive Relationship With the Severity of Acute Coronary Syndromes
BackgroundThere is accumulating data that acute coronary syndromes relate to recent onset activation of inflammation affecting atherosclerotic plaques. Increased blood levels of oxidized low density… Expand

In order to investigate the possibility of regional variation of ventricular structure, 25 normal postmortem human hearts were studied by inspection of cavity shape and subepicardial fibre… Expand
Site of intimal rupture or erosion of thrombosed coronary atherosclerotic plaques is characterized by an inflammatory process irrespective of the dominant plaque morphology.

BACKGROUND
The study was designed to verify the concept of plaques "at risk" and whether inflammation could play a role in plaque rupture and thrombosis.
METHODS AND RESULTS
In 20 patients who had… Expand

Background—Calcification is a common finding in human coronary arteries; however, the relationship between calcification patterns, plaque morphology, and patterns of remodeling of culprit lesions in… Expand
Neutrophil Infiltration of Culprit Lesions in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Background—Neutrophils in unstable atherosclerotic lesions have not received much consideration, despite accumulating evidence suggesting a link between systemic inflammation and acute coronary… Expand
Left Atrial Myocardial Extension onto Pulmonary Veins in Humans:
Anatomy of Pulmonary Veins. Introduction: Electrophysiologic studies have shown that spontaneous initiation of atrial fibrillation (AF) by ectopic heats may originate from within pulmonary veins. The… Expand
