Recent advances in clinical research on coronary vulnerable plaque
Vulnerable plaques in the coronary arteries are prone to rupture,leading to thrombotic obstruction of the coronary artery,which is a significant pathogenic mechanism of major adverse cardiovascular events.Vulnerable plaques can manifest as two main phenotypes:plaque rupture and plaque erosion,each having distinct clinical characteristics and treatment strategies.Patients with plaque erosion tend to have smaller myocardial infarct size and better prognosis.The integration of multi-modality intravascular imaging techniques helps in assessing plaque instability,thereby improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy.This article provides a comprehensive review of the clinical research advancements in vulnerable plaques in recent years.
