Q

What is the most important pattern of arteriosclerosis and what is it characterized by?

A

Atherosclerosis is the most important pattern of arteriosclerosis and is characterized by the presence of atheromas (or atheromatous (fibrofatty) plaques) within the intima and media. These plaques contain cholesterol and other lipids.
