ABSTRACT
In this review, the relationship of external triggers
with the development of acute coronary
syndromes is described. Based on current evidence,
the pathophysiological mechanisms that
probably result in the rupture of vulnerable coronary
plaques are revised and preventive measures
to stop the functional and lethal consequences
of its occurrence are proposed.
