What is atherosclerosis? Atherosclerosis (or arteriosclerotic vascular disease) is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to an excessive build up of plaque around the artery wall. The disease disrupts the flow of blood around the body‚ posing serious cardiovascular complications. What is atherosclerosis?

Atherosclerosis is a disease affecting the arterial blood vessel and it is commonly referred to as a "hardening" or "furring" of the arteries. It is caused by the formation of multiple plaques within the arteries. Theses plaques begin to form when a vessel receives tiny injuries‚ usually at a point of branching. In turn these plaques gradually thicken and harden with fibrous material‚ cells‚ and other deposits‚ restricting the lumen (opening) of the vessel and reducing blood flow to the tissues‚

Atherosclerosis is a form of cardiovascular disease in which the inner layers of artery walls are made thick and irregular by plaque deposits; arteries become narrow and blood supply can be reduced. (pg. 409) Atherosclerosis is deposited by fatty substances (called plaques) in the walls of the arteries. (pg.249) The arteries become narrow due to a person having high blood pressure which makes the heart work harder which forces the blood through the arteries making it narrow and stiffen. They also

Atherosclerosis is a type of cardiovascular disease where the arterial walls become thickened and hardened due to an excessive build up of fat‚ cholesterol and other substances in the inner lining of arteries forming plaque. Atherosclerosis typically begins in early adolescene and progresses with age.To date‚ the exact cause of atherosclerosis still remains unknown. However‚ there are several risk factors include age‚ gender‚ racial factors‚ family history‚ high blood pressure‚ high cholesterol‚

What is Cardiovascular disease? Heart and blood vessel disease also called heart disease includes numerous problems‚ many of which are related to a process called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries‚ making it harder for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms‚ it can stop the blood flow. This can cause a heart attack or stroke. A heart attack occurs when the blood
Premium Heart Myocardial infarction Atherosclerosis
Abstract: Atherosclerosis is one of the important cardiovascular disease‚ which often leads to narrowed arteries that obstruct the flow of oxygenated blood which may limit the oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and can lead to a heart attack. The blood flow through these narrow arteries is often restored by inserting folding structures‚ named Stent. A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim

Atherosclerosis‚ also known as the hardening of arteries‚ is a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries. The plaque builds up inside the arteries and either partially or completely blocks the blood flow. Diseases like coronary heart disease angina‚ and chronic kidney disease can occur as a result of atherosclerosis. When atherosclerosis affects the arteries in the heart‚ it is known as a coronary heart disease‚ and coronary heart disease is the number one killers of Americans. Atherosclerosis

aetiology. Therefore‚ the causes of atherosclerosis will be discussed as well as other diseases leading to coronary heart disease such as transient ischemia‚ coronary stenoses and lifestyle factors. 4.1 Atherosclerosis Coronary heart disease is commonly caused by a buildup of plaque which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow causing platelets‚ red and white blood cells in the artery to clump together forming a blockage (DeSilva‚ 2013). Atherosclerosis is defined as ‘disease of the arteries
