Following Russel Ross [1], there is now general agreement that vessel wall inflammation constitutes a major factor in the development of atherosclerosis, atheroma instability and plaque disruption followed by local thrombosis, that underlies the clinical presentation of acute coronary syndromes [2-4]. Endothelial-cell injury is the main stimulus for development of the atherosclerotic plaque: an inflammatory-fibroproliferative response results from various forms of insult to the endothelium. |
