摘要
Our understanding of the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes has undergone a veritable revolution in the past 20 years. We now understand in molecular and cellular terms how most serious thrombotic complications of coronary atherosclerosis occur. In particular, inflammatory pathways have emerged as important drivers of plaque disruption and thrombosis. This insight into the pathophysiological features of acute coronary syndromes expands the scope of treatment of this disease beyond the traditional focus on reducing stenoses. The laboratory and clinical data summarized here should help us both to understand how contemporary therapies can reduce the risk of these events and to make further inroads against the residual burden of disease in the future.
