Abstract

The symposium “The Unstable Plaque: From Molecules to the Community” was sponsored by The Aswan Heart Centre in El Gouna, Egypt, on February 1–3, 2013, as the third installment of the Centre's Science and Practice series. This 3-day symposium delved into the pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of acute coronary syndromes, bringing together leading international experts who bridged the spectrum of epidemiology, molecular mechanisms, clinical trials, and clinical practice.
