Observational study of inflammatory profiles in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction stratified by plaque erosion or rupture identified by optical coherence tomography : the Plaque Erosion Pilot Study
Background: Plaque erosion is responsible for 30–40% of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases, but the underlying cause is unknown. Autopsy studies suggest that inflammatory infiltrates are less abundant in erosion compared to plaque rupture, which suggests that other pathological mechani...
