Endorsed by the Society for Vascular Medicine. (2008, background): “Symptomatic, clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) events generally occur when atherosclerosis progresses to flowlimiting disease that causes ischemia, or when a thrombus forms on an existing plaque as a result of rupture or erosion.(2) Although not everyone with underlying atherosclerotic plaque wi”
Consensus standards for acquisition, measurement, and reporting of intravascular optical coherence tomography studies: a report from the International Working Group for Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Standardization and Validation. (2012, methodology): “Numbers used by some pathologists as a cutoff minimal cap thickness for TCFA include 65 m (7); however, these cutoffs should be adjusted when applied to IVOCT images, accounting for the 10% to 20% tissue shrinkage that can occur during histopathologic processing.”
Association of Age and Sex With Myocardial Infarction Symptom Presentation and In-Hospital Mortality (2012, neutral): “For example, the mechanisms of sudden coronary death appear to differ in older women compared with premenopausal or middleaged women, and risk factors may play different roles in these groups of patients.(21) Young women who die from coronary artery thrombosis are often smokers with plaque erosions ”
