ABSTRACT
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the most severe form of ischemic heart disease. Although it is caused by atherosclerotic plaque thrombosis or nonatherosclerotic causes, its pathophysiological mechanism of ACS is not fully understood, and its concept is constantly updated and developed. At present, the main pathophysiological mechanisms include plaque rupture, plaque erosion, calcified nodules (CN) and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm and myocardial bridging (MB). These mechanisms may overlap and coexist in some ACS patients. Therefore, the pathophysiological mechanism of ACS is complex, and is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of ACS. This review will discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms of ACS to provide new thoughts on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of ACS.
