Summary
The OPTICO-ACS- study program - combining for the first time in vivo characterization of the ACS-causing "culprit lesion" by intracoronary imaging technique with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and molecular analysis of immune-cells derived from the culprit coronary thrombus and biochemical analyses in patients with acute-coronary-syndrome (ACS).
Detailed description
Using a translational scientific approach the study aims to (a) get a better insight into the different pathophysiological processes in both clinical settings - plaque rupture (RFC) and plaque-erosion (IFC) with focus on to the inflammatory process and molecular mechanisms (b) identify special signatures including clinical and biochemical markers as biomarkers subject to different culprit plaques types and (c) to test its prognostic implications in patients after ACS.
