Carl von Rokitansky (1804-1878)
Rokitansky gave early detailed descriptions of arterial disease. He
is alleged to have performed 30,000
autopsies.
Rokitansky in 1841 championed the Thrombogenic Theory. He proposed that the deposits observed in the inner layer of the arterial wall
derived primarily from fibrin and other blood elements rather than being the result of a purulent process. Subsequently, the atheroma resulted from the
degeneration of the fibrin and other blood proteins as a result of a preexisting crasis of the blood, and finally these deposits were modified toward a pulpy
mass containing cholesterol crystals and fatty globules. This theory came under attack by Virchow
![Page 13: Final clickable pps for vp s ymposium @aha 2001](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58edfed51a28abab728b45dd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
First studies on inflammation of vessels, particularly phlebitis, Started at a time when Cruveilhier2had just stated: La phlebite domine toute la pathologie.3 First a great number of preparatory studies on fibrin, leukocytes, meta-morphosis of blood, published separately. …
Rudolf Virchow 1821-1902
The Father of Cellular Pathology
Virchow appreciates prior works.
Virchow presented his inflammatory theory. He utilized the name of "endarteritis deformans." By this he meant that the atheroma was a product of an inflammatory process within the intima with the fibrous thickening evolved as a consequence of a reactive fibrosis induced by proliferating connective tissue cells within the intima.

Vulnerable plaques are hot and acidic!
Ward Casscells and James Willerson showed ex-vivo that human carotid atherosclerotic plaques have temperature heterogeneity and plaques with thinner cap and higher macrophage infiltration give off more heat. Two years later Morteza Naghavi invented Thermosensor Basket catheter and showed invivo temperature heterogeneity in Hypercholestrolemic Dogs and Watanabe Rabbits. Coincidentally Stefanadis et al in 1999 confirmed significant temperature heterogeneity invivo in patients with unstable angina and acute MI.

Advantages:Lack of ionizing radiation High resolution Potential for NMR spectroscopy
Disadvantages:Invasive and slower than fluoroscopyNeeds open/short bore high field magnetLonger time for adoption by cardiologists

Coronary Calcium ImagingEBT and MSCT
Advantages:Quick and easy Provide information about total burden of atherosclerosis
Disadvantages:Cannot distinguish vulnerable from stable plaque
(poor plaque characterization)Inadequate specificity, may not accurately predict near future eventMay not be suitable for monitoring treatment

High Level of Sensitivity and Specificity Needed
• Knowing the extensive prevalence of atherosclerosis, in order to accurately detect vulnerable plaques and vulnerable patients, it is imperative to obtain information about both structure and activity of plaque assuring a minimum of false positive and false negative results.
NO MORE TREADMILL TEST!

… the question is not only vulnerable plaque
![Page 64: Final clickable pps for vp s ymposium @aha 2001](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58edfed51a28abab728b45dd/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
The Question seems to be MORE THAN ONE:
2.Who has vulnerable blood?
3. Who has a vulnerable heart?
4. Who is a vulnerable patient?
1.Who has vulnerable plaque?√
![Page 65: Final clickable pps for vp s ymposium @aha 2001](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58edfed51a28abab728b45dd/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Who Has Vulnerable Blood?
• Patients whose blood tends to create an occlusive thrombus on a vulnerable plaque, thereby resulting in an acute clinical syndrome.
• In other words:
Who has hyper-coagulable or “vulnerable blood”?
![Page 66: Final clickable pps for vp s ymposium @aha 2001](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58edfed51a28abab728b45dd/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Who Has A Vulnerable Heart?
• Those patients whose heart is more sensitive to an acute ischemic episode due thereby resulting in a fatal arrhythmia and sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest?
• In other words:
Who has arhytmogenic or “vulnerable heart”?
![Page 67: Final clickable pps for vp s ymposium @aha 2001](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58edfed51a28abab728b45dd/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Who Is A Vulnerable Patient?
A patient with a high likelihood of plaque, blood, and heart vulnerability
What is patient’s total Vulnerability Score (VP Score)
An index of having coronary event in the next 12 months (1 year)

Prevention of unheralded acute coronary events by early detection and treatment
of vulnerable plaques/patients.
