Q

What are pathophysiologic contributors on the development of an infarct ?

A

Q

Characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques? (3)

A
  1. Lesions are due to intimal thickening and lipid accumulation
  2. Plaques vary in size but can coalesce to form larger masses.
  3. Atheromatous plaques are white - yellow and encroach on the lumen of the artery.
