Dental CE Course: Inflammatory Aspects and Detection of Vulnerable Plaque: Clinical Impact of Assessment

Rupture-prone (i.e. "vulnerable") plaques are a primary cause of acute coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction. Though the features of rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques have been described by pathologists, the identification of high-risk plaque in vivo remains a challenge. While coronary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis of a plaque, alternative detection methods that rely upon physical, optical, and mechanical parameters may help to direct treatment decisions and improve clinical outcomes.
