1. The potential mediating effects of inflammation on the association between Type D personality and coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with coronary artery disease: An optical coherence tomography study

   Explore LWW Online Mar 22 2022 Cardiology

   

   Objective: Type D personality involves the interaction between negative affectivity with social inhibition and has been associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) progression and coronary plaque vulnerability. However, the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between Type D personality and coronary plaque vulnerability remain indeterminate. The present study examined the potential mediating effects of inflammation biomarkers on the association between Type D personality and coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with CAD. Methods: A total of 347 patients(mean age = 56.6 ± 11.2 years; 29.3 % women) with CAD who had culprit coronary plaques were examined for ...

2. Optical Coherence Tomographic Features of Pancoronary Plaques in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Caused by Layered Plaque Rupture Versus Layered Plaque Erosion

   Explore American Journal of Cardiology Jan 3 2022 Cardiology

   

   Atherosclerotic plaque instability could occur on the basis of healed plaque which has a layered appearance on optical coherence tomography. This study aimed to investigate pancoronary plaque features of layered plaque rupture (LPR) and layered plaque erosion (LPE) in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Among 388 patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent preintervention optical coherence tomography imaging of three coronary arteries, 190 patients with layered culprit plaque (49.0%) were identified and further divided into 2 groups: LPR group and LPE group. Clinical characteristics, pancoronary plaque features and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. Patients with LPR ...

5. Association of the age shock index with coronary plaque characteristics in ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction: A 3‐vessel optical coherence tomography study

   Explore Wiley Online Library Mar 29 2021 Cardiology

   

   Objectives We investigated whether the age shock index (SI) was associated with coronary plaque characteristics in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Background The age SI is a simple clinical parameter that effectively predicts poor clinical outcomes among patients with STEMI. Methods This retrospective study evaluated 408 STEMI patients who underwent 3‐vessel OCT during emergency percutaneous coronary interventions at a single center between January 2017 and October 2018. Patients were divided into groups with low or high age SI values (<41 vs. ≥41). Plaque characteristics were compared between the two groups for ...

6. Predictors of Coronary Plaque Erosion in Current and Non-Current Smokers With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction　― An Optical Coherence Tomography Study ―

   Explore jstage.jst.go.jp Jan 29 2021 Cardiology

   

   Background: Smoking is an important risk factor of plaque erosion. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of plaque erosion in current and non-current smokers presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods and Results: A total of 1,320 STEMI patients with culprit plaque rupture or plaque erosion detected by pre-intervention optical coherence tomography were divided into a current smoking group (n=715) and non-current smoking group (n=605). Plaque erosion accounted for 30.8% (220/715) of culprit lesions in the current smokers and 21.2% (128/605) in the non-current smokers. Multivariable analysis showed age <50 years ...

7. Morphological Characteristics of Eroded Plaques with Noncritical Coronary Stenosis: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study

   Explore jstage.jst.go.jp Jan 20 2021 Cardiology

   

   Aims: Recent studies suggested plaque erosion with noncritical stenosis could be treated distinctly from that with critical stenosis, but their morphological features remained largely unknown. The present study aimed to investigate morphological features of eroded plaques with different lumen stenosis using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: A total of 348 ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction patients with culprit OCT-defined plaque erosion (OCT-erosion) were analyzed. Based on the severity of lumen area stenosis, all patients with OCT-erosions were divided into the following three groups: Group A (area stenosis ＜50%, n=50); Group B (50% ≤area stenosis ＜75%, n=146); Group C (area ...

8. Association between food and nutrients intakes and coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with coronary heart disease: An optical coherence tomography study

   Explore Home Page Dec 4 2020 Cardiology

   

   Background and aims: Dietary intakes play important roles in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). Coronary plaque vulnerability is the key mechanism leading to CHD progression. We aimed to explore the association between dietary intakes and plaque vulnerability via optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods and results: A total of 314 CHD patients were included in this study. Dietary intake status was assessed by semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and plaque vulnerability was measured by OCT. The results showed that vegetables were negatively associated with macrophage infiltration, thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and thrombus [odds ratio (OR) = 0.48, 0 ...

9. Systemic and local factors associated with reduced thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients with plaque erosion detected by intravascular optical coherence tomography

   Explore Home - Springer Oct 4 2020 Cardiology

   

   Local factors of plaque rupture (e.g. lipid burden) are related to preprocedural thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the pathological mechanism differs between plaque erosion and rupture. We aimed to identify the factors associated with reduced TIMI flow in plaque erosion. A total of 329 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with optical coherence tomography (OCT) identified plaque erosion were divided into 2 groups by preprocedural TIMI flow grade [TIMI 0–1 group (n = 219) and TIMI 2–3 group (n = 110)]. Patients in TIMI 0–1 group were older (age ...

10. Frequency, Predictors, Distribution, and Morphological Characteristics of Layered Culprit and Nonculprit Plaques of Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: In Vivo 3-Vessel Optical Coherence Tomography Study.

    Explore Home | AHA/ASA Journals Sep 25 2020 Cardiology

    

    Background: Subclinical atherothrombosis and plaque healing may lead to rapid plaque progression. The histopathologic healed plaque has a layered appearance when imaged using optical coherence tomography. We assessed the frequency, predictors, distribution, and morphological characteristics of optical coherence tomography layered culprit and nonculprit plaques in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: A prospective series of 325 patients with acute myocardial infarction underwent optical coherence tomography imaging of all 3 native coronary arteries. Layered plaque phenotype had heterogeneous signal-rich layered tissue located close to the luminal surface that was clearly demarcated from the underlying plaque. Results: Layered plaques were detected in ...
