Q

Why is c-protein a risk factor for cardiovascular disease?

A

Although c-proteins are not a direct risk of CVD, a high level of them can indicate future risk of a heart attack. However chronic response of c-protein to inflammation can cause platelet clumping in the vessel, eventually decreasing the circumference of the vessel and leading to blood clots.

Q

What causes an atherosclerosis?

A

fatty deposits - LDLs - accumulate on the inner lining of the arterial walls. LDLs pass into the tunica intima where they undergo “oxidization”. These oxidized LDL’s are toxic and increase inflammation. White blood cells called “monocytes” absorb the toxic oxidized LDL’s and become foam cells. When these foam cells rupture or die, they release their lipid content, creating a “lipid core”. Fibrous caps form over these in the healing process, creating more plaque. At first the plaque eats into the wall of the artery to about 40%, weaking the artery wall. But after that point, the plaque starts narrowing the lumen, leading to reduced blood flow.
