Abstract

GONZALEZ PLIEGO, José Ángel. Triggering of acute coronary syndromes: Pathophysiologic relationships. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2006, vol.76, n.2, pp.208-221. ISSN 1665-1731.

In this review, the relationship of external triggers with the development of acute coronary syndromes is described. Based on current evidence, the pathophysiological mechanisms that probably result in the rupture of vulnerable coronary plaques are revised and preventive measures to stop the functional and lethal consequences of its occurrence are proposed.

Keywords : Triggers; Pathophysiology; Prevention; Coronary syndromes.
