    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Pathology
    • Atherosclerosis Research
    • Quantitative Image Analysis

    Background:

    • Coronary atherosclerosis is a primary cause of sudden cardiac death and myocardial infarction.
    • Current quantitative analysis techniques for coronary atherosclerosis lack standardization and accuracy.
    • There is a critical need for improved methods to assess microscopic atherosclerotic lesions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and report practical, quantitative techniques for analyzing microscopic coronary atherosclerosis.
    • To establish a standardized method for evaluating atherosclerotic lesion severity and cellular composition.
    • To validate the application of these techniques in a relevant animal model.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized myocardial infarction-prone Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits.
    • Assessed coronary atherosclerosis severity through stenosis evaluation across 7 heart blocks per rabbit.
    • Employed ImageJ software for quantitative analysis: RGB to monochrome conversion, Gray Thresholding, and cellular component quantification.

    Main Results:

    • Identified Blocks I, II, and V as exhibiting the most severe coronary atherosclerosis.
    • Successfully and accurately quantified macrophage and smooth muscle cell numbers within atherosclerotic lesions.
    • Demonstrated the efficacy of the image analysis technique in a preclinical model.

    Conclusions:

    • Introduced a novel quantitative analysis method for microscopic coronary atherosclerosis.
    • The developed technique offers improved accuracy and standardization for lesion assessment.
    • This method holds potential for wide application across various animal models in atherosclerosis research.
