Inflammatory Differences in Plaque Erosion and Rupture in Patients With ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Inflammatory Differences in Plaque Erosion and Rupture in Patients With ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

BackgroundPlaque erosion causes 30% of ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarctions, but the underlying cause is unknown. Inflammatory infiltrates are less abundant in erosion compared with rupture in autopsy studies. We hypothesized that erosion and rupture are associated with significant difference...
