PCI is commonly used to open blocked arteries to treat significant myocardial ischemia , which occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygenated blood. These findings demonstrate that the focal treatment of high-risk vulnerable plaques may improve patient prognosis beyond optimal medical therapy alone.”

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 3 Patients with ASCVD are at a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cardiovascular (CV) death.4

A CTCA provides much more anatomical detail and can identify advanced plaque often missed by CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score scans alone. There are 3 types of coronary atherosclerosis visible on CTCA: Calcified Plaque - Easily Identified on both CT CAC & CTCA scans. Subscribe now How Often Does A CT CAC Scan Miss Plaque?

Arteries generally narrow and occlude for one of two reasons: The progressive accumulation of plaque. A plaque ruptures, and a clot forms in the artery, thereby occluding it. There are the ‘garden variety’ heart attacks whereby a plaque ruptures in the coronary artery, called a spontaneous heart attack. N Engl J Med.

Smith Major Learning Point: The worst risk factor for a bad outcome in OMI is young age because cardiologists cannot believe that a young person can have an OMI. Only after her troponin peaked at 500,000 ng/L did she get her angiogram, which showed a 100% left main occlusion due to ruptured plaque. This gets drilled into them.

In this case, the context is a 51 year old man with risk factors presenting with acute onset substernal chest pain with nausea and vomiting. The operator performed intravascular ultrasound and visualized acute plaque rupture with thrombus formation and placed a stent. The pre-EKG probability for OMI could hardly be much higher!

Influenza-like illness can also trigger plaque rupture. The posterior lead V9 is clearly misplaced, as it should be relatively reciprocal (opposite) in morphology to V2.
