Plaque disruption is the major cause of ACS in women

Among the most important risk factor for the people who are suffering from ACS, there is the plaque disruption which is present in them. Hence, finding out that how much will it affect the women, there are many cases reported each year to the hospitals where the female patients who are suffering from the stable angina, will suddenly be presented to the hospital with the unstable angina, NSTEMI, acute myocardial infarction etc. according to the research done at NYU cardiovascular Clinical research center, the major cause for this is to be the disruption of plaque.

Most of these cases are reported in the women, where the USG is done to prove it. According to the ratio selected for it, 38% of the patients have either the ulceration or the plaque disruption which caused the acute “Heart Attack.”

According to the report showed in Journal of the American Heart Association, the very same results were predicted, yet more precise among these patients which is done the CT. This time, the results are showing this ratio to be 70% and in this way, these are making the good imagery for how long the cases are required to be treated for this. This went on to become as one of the major research modalities which is done in the two imaging modalities.

According to the researchers, the use of the statins and the use of the antiplatelets therapy have shown the great number of outcomes for the research. Most of the women who are having the great implicating therapy for the other conditions, there are very huge chances that due to this therapy, the target artery will become plaque free, while on the other hand, the very same plaque fragment will go and lodge in the coronary artery.

The secondary prevention for the patients who are suffering from this condition is the ones who are having the antiplatelets therapy. This will either worsen the outcome because most of the time, anti platelets therapy is cardio-selective. Among the complications which may arise from the making of this condition showed the results to be as high as 32% of the patients who will have the stenosis of the cardiac valves. While at the very same time, the use of this therapy will also induce infection which is not considered for this before. Among such complications include the name of infective endocarditis, acute rheumatic fever, pericarditis etc.
