Short stature and risk for mortality and cardiovascular disease events. The Framingham Heart Study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Postmortem-derived findings support the common beliefs that lipid-rich coronary plaques with a thin, fibrous cap are prone to rupture and that rupture and superimposed thrombosis are the primary mechanisms causing acute coronary syndromes. In vivo imaging with intracoronary techniques may disclose difference...
