Research needs regarding superficial erosion

Expanded experimental preparations
Deeper mechanistic understanding of triggers and effectors
Identification and validation of biomarkers that would permit non-invasive point-of-care differentiation of ACS due to plaque erosion vs. rupture
Develop and validate preventive strategies and treatments for ACS caused by erosion
Prospective biomarker-guided therapeutic trials
