Background: Thromboembolic events, including myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke, caused by the rupture or erosion of unstable atherosclerotic plaques are the leading cause of death worldwide. Although most mouse models of atherosclerosis develop lesions in the aorta and carotid arteries, they do not develop advanced coronary artery lesions. Moreover, they do not undergo spontaneous plaque rupture with MI and stroke or do so at such a low frequency that they are not viable experimental models to study late-stage thrombotic events or to identify novel therapeutic approaches for treating atherosclerotic disease.

Background: Postoperative myocardial injury (PMI) after major vascular surgery, detected by elevated cardiac troponin (cTn), has been associated with morbidity and mortality. It is unclear whether the pathophysiology of PMI is determined by increased platelet activity.
Objective: To examine the relationship between platelet activation (P-selectin expression) and PMI in patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic surgery.

Tropomyosin, controlled by troponin-linked Ca-binding, regulates muscle contraction by a macromolecular scale steric-mechanism that governs myosin-crossbridge-actin interactions. At low-Ca, C-terminal domains of troponin-I (TnI) trap tropomyosin in a position on thin filaments that interferes with myosin-binding, thus causing muscle relaxation. Steric inhibition is reversed at high-Ca when TnI releases from F-actin-tropomyosin as Ca and the TnI switch-peptide bind to the N-lobe of troponin-C (TnC).
