En vanlig orsak till hjärtinfarkt och stroke är att åderförfettningsplack brister. Hittills har det varit okänt exakt var i placket som bristningen sker, något som forskare vid Lunds universitet nu kartlagt. Forskarna har även identifierat ett enzym, en markör, som de hoppas ska kunna förutspå vem som är i riskzonen att drabbas av en hjärtinfarkt eller stroke till följd av ett brustet åderförfettn
