Plaque Rupture by Cholesterol Crystallization
[Ссылки доступны только зарегистрированным пользователям ]
George S. Abela, MD, and Kusai Aziz, MD, hypothesized that soft plaque with large lipid deposits is supersaturated with cholesterol that can undergo transformation from liquid to a solid crystal state. During this transformation, the crystals expand within the confined space of atheromatous plaque, damaging the thin fibrous cap, and leading to rupture or erosion.
