Everybody has atherosclerosis, the question is who has vulnerable plaque
Sudden Cardiac Death

Vulnerable
Plaque
Carl von Rokitansky (1804-1878)
Rokitansky gaveearly
detailed descriptionsof
arterial disease. Heis
alleged to haveperformed
30,000 autopsies.
Rokitansky in 1841 championed theThrombogenic Theory. Heproposed that the
depositsobserved in theinner layer of thearterial wall derived primarily from fibrin and other
blood elementsrather than being theresult of apurulent process. Subsequently, theatheroma
resulted from thedegeneration of thefibrin and other blood proteinsasaresult of apreexisting
crasisof theblood, and finally thesedepositsweremodified toward apulpy masscontaining
cholesterol crystalsand fatty globules.
Thistheory cameunder attack by Virchow
First studies on inflammation of vessels, particularly phlebitis, Started at
a time when Cruveilhier2had just stated: La phlebite domine toute la
pathologie.3 First a great number of preparatory studies on fibrin,
leukocytes, meta-morphosis of blood, published separately. …
Rudolf Virchow 1821-1902
The Father of
Cellular
Pathology
Virchow appreciates prior works.
Virchow presented hisinflammatory theory. Heutilized thenameof "endarteritisdeformans." By thishe
meant that theatheromawasaproduct of an inflammatory processwithin theintimawith thefibrous
thickening evolved asaconsequenceof areactivefibrosisinduced by proliferating connectivetissuecells
within theintima.

internal elastic lamina is destructed and occupied by plaque

disease not lumen.

Angiographic progression of coronary
artery disease and the development of
myocardial infarction.
Ambrose JA, Tannenbaum MA, Alexopoulos D, Hjemdahl-Monsen CE, Leavy J, Weiss M, Borrico S, Gorlin R, Fuster V.
Department of Medicine, New York Cardiac Center, Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York 10029.
Simultaneously, Little et al, Haft et al reported that majority of culprit
lesions are found on previously non-critical stenosis plaques.
Conclusion:
“Myocardial infarction frequently develops from non-severe lesions.”
J Am Coll Cardiol 1988 Jul;12(1):56-62

James E. Muller 1994
Muller coined the term of “Vulnerable” Plaque
Muller likened Vulnerable Plaques to American nuclear missiles stored underground in
Nevada desert where they could be vulnerable to Russians’ long-range missile attack!

Tct recognition of vulnerable plaque guidelines

  • 1. Total victims of new heart attacks in 2003 Will die before reaching hospital. >50% Damaged Myocardium Pre-Hospital Delay 10year mortality ticket issued on the way reaching hospital! Future heart failure… Cardiology of Today CANNOT Reach >50% of Its Target Population ~ 500,000 in the USA
  • 2. Everybody has atherosclerosis, the question is who has vulnerable plaque Sudden Cardiac Death Acute MI Vulnerable Plaque
  • 3. Carl von Rokitansky (1804-1878) Rokitansky gaveearly detailed descriptionsof arterial disease. Heis alleged to haveperformed 30,000 autopsies. Rokitansky in 1841 championed theThrombogenic Theory. Heproposed that the depositsobserved in theinner layer of thearterial wall derived primarily from fibrin and other blood elementsrather than being theresult of apurulent process. Subsequently, theatheroma resulted from thedegeneration of thefibrin and other blood proteinsasaresult of apreexisting crasisof theblood, and finally thesedepositsweremodified toward apulpy masscontaining cholesterol crystalsand fatty globules. Thistheory cameunder attack by Virchow
  • 4. First studies on inflammation of vessels, particularly phlebitis, Started at a time when Cruveilhier2had just stated: La phlebite domine toute la pathologie.3 First a great number of preparatory studies on fibrin, leukocytes, meta-morphosis of blood, published separately. … Rudolf Virchow 1821-1902 The Father of Cellular Pathology Virchow appreciates prior works. Virchow presented hisinflammatory theory. Heutilized thenameof "endarteritisdeformans." By thishe meant that theatheromawasaproduct of an inflammatory processwithin theintimawith thefibrous thickening evolved asaconsequenceof areactivefibrosisinduced by proliferating connectivetissuecells within theintima.

Positive(expansive) Remodeling <80% stenosis
  • 10. Angiographic progression of coronary artery disease and the development of myocardial infarction. Ambrose JA, Tannenbaum MA, Alexopoulos D, Hjemdahl-Monsen CE, Leavy J, Weiss M, Borrico S, Gorlin R, Fuster V. Department of Medicine, New York Cardiac Center, Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York 10029. Simultaneously, Little et al, Haft et al reported that majority of culprit lesions are found on previously non-critical stenosis plaques. Conclusion: “Myocardial infarction frequently develops from non-severe lesions.” J Am Coll Cardiol 1988 Jul;12(1):56-62 Ambrose, Fuster, and colleagues Angiographically Invisible Plaques
  • 11. Falk E., Shak P.K., Fuster V. Circulation 1995 Non-stenotic (<75%) plaques cause about 80% of deadly MI
