Biomechanical Analysis of Human Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques in Response to Pharmacotherapy, and in Predicting Adverse Clinical Events
… worldwide, is often the result of coronary plaque rupture. Previous histological work has demonstrated that ruptured plaques are associated with higher stress, with in vivo intravascular studies linking higher plaque structural stress (PSS) with the presentation of acute coronary syndrome. …

Investigation Into The Role Of Biomechanical Forces In Determining The Behaviour of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques
… Rupture of an advanced atheromatous coronary plaque precipitates the majority of these clinical events, resulting in thrombosis and myocardial infarction. Post-mortem studies have identified thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) as the plaque subtype most prone to rupture with prospective …
