What is Understanding Atherosclerosis Process about?
Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is a progressive cardiovascular disease caused by damage to the endothelium, leading to inflammation and the accumulation of lipids, cholesterol, and white blood cells, forming plaques known as atheromas. This process narrows the artery lumen, restricts blood flow, and can increase blood pressure over time. Contributing factors include high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, smoking, diabetes, obesity, and aging.
