ABSTRACT:
Vulnerable plaque is identified through a diagnostic method by identifying pathologic markers such as C-reactive proteins or pH change generated by the pathologic site. First and second detectors are advanced through a blood vessel with each of the detectors selected to detect the pathological marker. The detectors are spaced apart while seeking the marker. Differential concentration of the pathological marker as measured by the first and second detectors indicates a presence of the pathological site in proximity to at least one of the detectors.
