Numerous studies have described the concept of acute, partial or complete thrombotic occlusion of the coronary artery, which occurs at the site of a friable atherosclerotic plaque with a lipid-rich necrotic core and a ruptured overlying thin fibrous cap (“culprit lesion”). </p> <p>See more here:<br /> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.cathlabtoday.com/goto/Virtual_Histology_Imaging_in_Acute_Coronary_Syndromes_Useful_or_Just_a_Research_Tool_/83/1" title="Virtual Histology Imaging in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Useful or Just a Research Tool?">Virtual Histology Imaging in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Useful or Just a Research Tool?</a></p> <p>Related posts:<ol><li><a href='http://www.cathlabtoday.com/2009/12/acute-myocardial-infarction-update-on-therapy-part-i-stemi-cardiosource/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Acute Myocardial Infarction-Update on Therapy Part I: STEMI – Cardiosource'>Acute Myocardial Infarction-Update on Therapy Part I: STEMI – Cardiosource</a> <small> Acute Myocardial Infarction-Update on Therapy Part I: STEMI Cardiosource...</small></li> <li><a href='http://www.cathlabtoday.com/2009/11/imaging-specialist-ii-palomar-pomerado-health-11909/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Imaging Specialist II – Palomar Pomerado Health – 11/9/09'>Imaging Specialist II – Palomar Pomerado Health – 11/9/09</a> <small> Palomar Pomerado Health Imaging Specialist II Per Diem Specializing...</small></li> <li><a href='http://www.cathlabtoday.com/2010/02/the-role-of-cardiovascular-computed-tomographic-angiography-for-coronary-sinus-mitral-annuloplasty/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: The Role of Cardiovascular Computed Tomographic Angiography for Coronary Sinus Mitral Annuloplasty'>The Role of Cardiovascular Computed Tomographic Angiography for Coronary Sinus Mitral Annuloplasty</a> <small> ABSTRACT: Background.
