易损血管的诊断进展

Early Diagnosis and Therapeutic Treatment of Vulnerable Vessel

动脉粥样硬化是一种慢性发展的炎症性疾病,并且有很长的无症状期,其最终可致急性心血管事件,如心肌梗死、不稳定型心绞痛,甚至心源性猝死以及脑卒中。如何早期评估动脉粥样硬化,防止其进展成为关键。由此众多学者提出了易损血管的概念。易损血管更早于易损斑块,这对于预防心血管事件的发生及疾病的早期治疗非常有意义。现就易损血管学说及易损血管的诊断做一综述。

Atherosclerosis is a chronic,progressive,inflammatory disease with a long asymptomatic phase.Disease progression can eventually lead to acute cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction,unstable angina pectoris,and sudden cardiac death and stroke.The key is how to detect and prevent the progression of atherosclerosis from its earliest stages.One of the earliest stages of atherosclerosis put forward by researchers is that of the vulnerable vessel.This stage is significant in the provision of therapy for atherosclerosis and in the prevention of acute cardiovascular events.This review examines current research into the identification of the vulnerable vessel in atherosclerosis.
