Abstract

Myocardial infarction is the most frequent cause of mortality in the United States as well as in most western countries. In this review, the processes leading to myocardial infarction are described based on the most recent studies of vascular biology; in addition, evolving strategies for prevention are outlined. The following was specifically discussed. (1) Five phases of the progression of coronary atherosclerosis (phases 1 to 5) and eight morphologically different lesions (types I, II, III, IV, Va, Vb, Vc, and VI) in the various phases are defined. (2) The present understanding of the pathogenesis of each of the phases of progression and of the various lesion types preceding myocardial infarction is described; particular emphasis is placed on the physical, structural, cellular, and chemical characteristics of the "vulnerable or unstable plaques" prone to disruption (types IV and Va lesions). (3) The fate of plaque disruption (type VI lesion) in the genesis of the various coronary syndromes and especially acute myocardial infarction is defined; particular emphasis is placed on the combination of plaque disruption and a high thrombogenic risk profile--local factors (ie, degree of plaque disruption, exposure of lipid-macrophage-rich plaque, etc) and systemic factors (ie, catecholamines, RAS, fibrinogen, etc)--in the genesis of myocardial infarction. (4) Strategies of regression or stabilization of "vulnerable or unstable plaques" for prevention of myocardial infarction are presented within the context of recent favorable experience with risk factor modification and lipid-modifying angiographic trials, beta-blockade and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition, antithrombotic strategies, and the possible role of estrogens. The recent past has been very fruitful in yielding a better understanding of the processes leading to myocardial infarction, and the near future appears very promising in terms of preventing the number 1 killer in the western world.

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.
