一组研究人员在希腊圣托里尼举行了为期两天的会议，讨论高风险/易损动脉粥样硬化斑块和患者的识别和治疗领域的进展。注意到在使用术语的方式上有许多不同之处。人们认识到，对冠状动脉血栓形成和急性冠状动脉综合征发病的病理生理学的了解增加，需要在命名上达成一致。与会者花了相当长的时间讨论这个问题，并就各自对下列术语的使用达成了一致意见。希望这种用法对在这一领域工作的更大的科学家群体有价值，并希望广泛采用共同的命名法将加速预防急性冠状动脉事件的进展。(C) 2004年由Elsevier Ltd代表欧洲心脏病学会出版。
A group of investigators met for two days in Santorini, Greece, to discuss progress in the field of identification and treatment of high risk/vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques and patients. Many differences in the manner in which terms are being utilized were noted. It was recognized that increased understanding of the pathophysiology of coronary thrombosis and onset of acute coronary syndromes has created the need for agreement on nomenclature. The participants spent considerable time discussing the topic and reached agreement on their own usage of the terms as described below. It is the hope that this usage might be of value to the larger community of scientists working in this field, and that widespread adoption of a common nomenclature would accelerate progress in the prevention of acute coronary events.
