Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Vulnerable plaques are associated with inflammation, apoptosis, rupture, and thrombosis. A detailed understanding of the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of high-risk plaques, together with the ability to visualize and diagnose the lesions, will lead to effective treatments for acute coronary syndromes. High-Risk Atherosclerotic Plaques: Mechanisms, Imaging, Models, and Therapy brings together timely, authoritative in-depth reviews by renowned international cardiologists and scientists covering the definition, structure, cellular and molecular mechanisms of high risk plaque development, animal models of vulnerable plaque, plaque imaging, and current and future therapies.

Book News Annotation:

Cardiologists and other scientists from Europe, the US, and Australia review the current understanding of the plaques from the perspectives of definition, structure, cellular and molecular mechanisms of high-risk plaque development, animals models of vulnerable plaque, plaque imaging, and current and future therapies. The underlying rationale is that a greater understanding of the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of high risk plaques, along with the ability to visualize and diagnose these lesions, can lead to more effective management of acute coronary syndromes, which are primarily caused by the instability of atherosclerotic plaques. High risk plaques are also associated with inflammation, apoptosis, rupture, and thrombosis.
