In this article, we advance a hypothesis for the rupture of thin fibrous cap atheroma, namely that minute (10-μm-diameter) cellular-level microcalcifications in the cap, which heretofore have gone undetected because they lie below the visibility of current in vivo imaging techniques, cause local stress concentrations that lead to interfacial debond...
