Q

atheroscleorisis process

A
  1. Endothelial Dysfunction. Injury to endothelial lining, caused by factors like
    hypertension, smoking, high cholesterol.
  2. Lipid Accumulation. LDL cholesterol penetrates damaged endothelium. Accumulates
    in subendothelial space.
  3. Foam Cell Formation. Monocytes transform into macrophages. Macrophages engulf
    LDL, forming foam cells.
  4. Inflammation and Smooth Muscle Activation. Inflammatory response attracts
    immune cells. Smooth muscle cells proliferate and migrate.
  5. Plaque Formation. Smooth muscle cells deposit collagen, forming fibrous cap.
    Calcium deposits contribute to plaque hardening.
  6. Plaque Rupture and Thrombosis. Fibrous cap weakens, leading to plaque rupture.
    Thrombus formation causes artery occlusion and clinical manifestations.
