Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Ischaemic heart disease resulting from rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is a major cause of death worldwide. Precisely why a plaque ruptures remains a mystery. However, in The Lancet, Nikhil Joshi and colleagues' findings1 suggest that we are close to being able to detect when rupture is about to occur.
