ABSTRACT=This study highlights the significance of syndecan-1 in plaque vulnerability and provides valuable insights into the formation of high-risk vulnerable plaques in atherosclerosis. These findings have substantial implications for cardiovascular disease management, as early identification of vulnerable plaques can lead to timely interventions and prevent life-threatening events. Moreover, the exploration of syndecan-1 as a biomarker offers a promising tool for risk stratification and personalized treatment approaches.
