Abstract Atherosclerosis developed in the arterial wall is the major cause of cardiovascular events such as stroke and
heart failure. Atherosclerosis, also referred to as arterial plaque can be classified as stable, unstable, and
vulnerable plaque. In terms of the features of compositions and structures, atherosclerosis also can be
classified as calcified plaque, the plaque with a lipid core, and plaque with a thin fibrous cap. It is expected
that the compositions, structures, and mechanical properties of the plaques interrelate with each other. The
correlations between the compositions, structure, and mechanical properties are expected to characterize… More >
