心肌梗塞，通常被称为心脏病发作，是世界范围内死亡的主要原因。人们曾经认为，冠状动脉内的大块斑块会导致心脏病发作。然而，自20世纪80年代中期以来，心脏病发作显然是由冠状动脉小斑块破裂引起的。当这些斑块破裂时，它们会将脂质释放到血液中。血栓形成，血管阻塞。
Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, is a leading cause of death worldwide. It was once believed that large plaques within the coronary arteries caused heart attacks. Since the mid 1980s, however, it has become apparent that heart attacks occur from the rupture of small plaques in the coronary arteries. When these plaques rupture, they release lipids into the blood stream. A clot forms, and the vessel occludes.
