The pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes
Open accessAbstract
irtually all regional acute myocardial infarcts are caused by thrombosis developing on a culprit coronary atherosclerotic plaque.The very rare exceptions to this are spontaneous coronary artery dissection, coronary arteritis, coronary emboli, coronary spasm, and compression by myocardial bridges.Thrombosis is also the major initiating factor in unstable angina, particularly when rest pain is recent and increasing in severity.Necropsy studies suggest that a new thrombotic coronary event underlies 50-70% of sudden deaths caused by ischaemic heart disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
