Thus, it has recently become generally accepted that most plaque ruptures resulting in myocardial infarction occur in plaques that narrow the lumen diameter by 40% of the arterial cross section may be involved by plaque. The pathologist may see a plaque that constitutes, for example, 50% of the cross-sectional area.
