Why the study?
Are coronary thrombi and plaque fissuring the primary pathologic lesions in sudden cardiac ischemic death?
Are coronary thrombi and plaque fissuring the primary pathologic lesions in sudden cardiac ischemic death?
Sudden ischemic cardiac death is primarily driven by acute coronary lesions characterized by plaque fissuring and thrombosis, providing a rationale for antithrombotic therapy in prevention.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Acute coronary lesions predominate in sudden ischemic death; hypothesis-generating for antithrombotic prevention without altering practice.
Davies et al. (1984) studied this question.
