Summary: | Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a typical arterial thrombotic event. Acute arterial thrombosis is a common disease with high morbidity worldwide. The sites at which the thrombus forms tend to be abnormal and patients with arterial thrombosis tend to be younger. Thus, arterial thrombosis has been a social burden and the consequent high morbidity and disability have been a worldwide health problem.I21 The typical pathology of acute arterial thrombosis is the rupture of soft plaque cap in the arterial endarterium, aggregation of platelets at the site of rupture and subsequent thrombosisJ31 Acute rupture of soft plaque cap has been regarded as an initiator of arterial thrombosis. |
