Background and aims: Cholesterol crystals (CCs) have been found to be critical in the evolution and progression of atherosclerotic plaque leading up to rupture. This includes triggering inflammation and mechanically traumatizing the plaque and surrou

Plaque disruption (PD) causes most acute cardiovascular events. Although cholesterol crystals (CCs) have been observed in plaques, their role in PD was unknown. However, cholesterol expands with crystallization tearing and perforating fibrous tissues

PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that the observed incidence of important noncardiac findings (NCFs) on myocardial perfusion imaging increases significantly when readers systematically review all rotating projectional images. METHODS: We prospectively

Background— It has been shown that plaque uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose is proportional to macrophage density. We tested the hypothesis that arterial thrombosis occurs in areas with high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake and that computed tomography angiogr

Plaque rupture and/or erosion are considered the leading cause of cardiovascular events. To elucidate this process, we demonstrated that during cholesterol crystallization the occupied volume increases rapidly and sharp-tipped crystals cut through th

Predicting the occurrence of future acute coronary syndromes remains an important challenge of contemporary cardiology. It is thought that detecting the individual vulnerable plaques in patients can be an important step to preventing myocardial infar

We tested the hypothesis that sildenafil increases myocardial dilator reserve in humans with ischemic heart disease.Positron emission tomography measured myocardial blood flow in 14 patients with ischemic heart disease. Patients were studied twice, i

Background: Plaque rupture and/or erosion is the leading cause of cardiovascular events; however, the process is not well understood. Although certain morphologic characteristics have been associated with ruptured plaques, these observations are of s

OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis, in patients with Friedreich's ataxia and no overt structural heart disease, that impairment of cardiac oxidative metabolism may be compensated for either by increased rest myocardial blood flow or more efficient o
