动脉粥样硬化(A theroscleros is,A S)在病理上可分为稳定斑块和不稳定斑块,其中不稳定斑块破裂是引发急性心血管事件的主要原因。早期检出不稳定斑块可有效预防心脏事件的发生。在临床治疗的选择上也不同。最近发表的临床试验CARAGE中显示[1],对稳定斑块的患者,血管重建和支架 Atherosclerosis (A s) can be divided into stable plaque and unstable plaque pathologically, of which unstable plaque rupture is the main cause of acute cardiovascular events. Early detection of unstable plaques can effectively prevent the occurrence of cardiac events. The choice of clinical treatment is also different. A recently published clinical trial in CARAGE has shown [1] that patients with stable plaques, revascularization and stents
