Funded Activity Summary

Most heart attacks are the consequence of the acute rupture of plaques in arteries that supply our heart with oxygen and nutrients. Current standard tests cannot distinguish plaques that likely rupture from plaques that do not rupture. Similarly, little is known about the processes that determine whether a plaque is vulnerable to rupture or stable. The current project examines the involvement of two processes - either alone or in combination - in determining plaque stability/vulnerability.
