Inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis but
many of its underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. Atherosclerotic plaques which …

Our current understanding of the vascular biology of atherogenesis and its clinical
manifestations suggests a pathophysiology that is much more complex than mere lipid …

Many molecular and cellular mechanisms link inflammation and haemostatic mechanisms.
Inflammation, and perhaps chronic infection, may play important roles in the initiation and …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease; unstable atherosclerotic plaque rupture,
vascular stenosis, or occlusion caused by platelet aggregation and thrombosis lead to acute …

It is now widely accepted that the development of atherosclerotic lesions involves a chronic
inflammatory response that includes both innate and adaptive immune mechanisms …

Inflammation orchestrates each stage of the life cycle of atherosclerotic plaques. Indeed,
inflammatory mediators likely link many traditional and emerging risk factors with …

Recent developments into antherothrombosis, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality
in Western Society, may help to change our treatment strategy to a more casual approach …

The association between thrombosis and acute coronary syndromes is well established.
Inflammation and activation of innate and adaptive immunity are another important factor …
