Identifying vulnerable plaques, a key cause of atherothrombosis and acute coronary syndromes, remains challenging. Thermography shows promise for diagnosing vulnerable plaques and patients, improving cardiovascular risk assessment.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Biomedical Engineering
Medical Imaging

Context:

Atherothrombosis is a leading cause of mortality globally.
Rupture of vulnerable plaques triggers acute coronary syndromes.
Current diagnostic methods for vulnerable plaques have limitations.

Purpose:

To explore the potential of thermography in identifying vulnerable plaques.
To discuss the future of vulnerable plaque and patient diagnosis.

Summary:

Vulnerable plaque identification is crucial for preventing atherothrombosis.
Existing noninvasive and invasive methods lack comprehensive assessment of plaque morphology and inflammation.
Thermography emerges as a promising tool for evaluating both vulnerable plaques and the vulnerable patient.

Impact:

Thermography could enhance the early detection and management of cardiovascular disease.
Improved diagnostic capabilities may lead to personalized treatment strategies for high-risk patients.
Advances in imaging may reduce mortality associated with acute coronary syndromes.
