About Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis, or the build-up of fatty deposits (plaques) on interior blood vessel walls, is a progressive process initially involving endothelial dysfunction and accumulation of lipids on the linings of blood vessel. Atherosclerotic lesions develop as a result of inflammatory stimuli, subsequent release of various cytokines, proliferation of smooth muscle cells, synthesis of connective tissue matrix, and accumulation of macrophages and lipids. Atherosclerosis is involved in the development of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke, among other diseases.
