Deskripsi
Plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and COVID-19 infection can cause acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We illustrate case examples demonstrating the distinctive and characteristic pathologic findings underlying each of these various causes of acute myocardial infarction. A deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of ACS is necessary for the development of newer agents and techniques to improve outcomes after ACS. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
