Abstract

This report examines the capability of different instrumental and laboratory methods in determination of unstable atherosclerotic plaques. Among discussed instrumental methods are nuclear imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography and duplex ultrasound. Among described biochemical markers are C-reactive protein, cytokines, oxidized LDL, chemokines, glutathion peroxidase, myeloperoxidase, matrix metalloproteinases, placental growth factor, pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, soluble CD40 ligand and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2.
