Dr. Matthew Budoff and The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center provides innovative research devoted to advancing procedures that can help doctors identify patients early that are at high-risk for cardiac events and progression of atherosclerosis.
Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis and progression of coronary artery disease. It has a vital role in all stages of atherosclerotic plaque development, including promotion of plaque instability and acute coronary syndrome.
