膨胀的血管内膜使得表皮细胞更加稀疏,同时内部的结缔组织形成Fibrous Cap(纤维帽?),诱发动脉血栓形成。 冠状动脉疾病(CAD,俗称冠心病) CAD是发病率最高、也是死亡人数最多的心脑血管疾病。冠状动脉是主动脉的第一个分支,有两根主动脉,分别是左、右冠状动脉,至于哪根覆盖更大的面积因人而异。冠状动脉是为心脏供血的...
Atherosclerosis-- sometimes called hardening of the arteries -- can slowly narrow thearteriesthroughout your body. When atherosclerosis affects arteries that carry blood to theheartmuscle, it’s calledcoronary artery disease, or CAD. That’s the No. 1 killer of Americans. Most of those deaths ar...

Atherosclerosis is a complex process that involves the gradual buildup of plaque inside the walls of arteries, which can lead to the narrowing and hardening of the affected blood vessels. The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis is multifactorial and involves a combination of genetic, environmental, and ...
Coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of mortality in most industrialized countries, although age-standardized mortality related to coronary artery disease (CAD) has decreased by more than 40% during the last two decades. Coronary atherosclerosis may cause angina pectoris, myocardial infarction...
It builds up over time. That makes arteries harder and narrower, which doctors call “atherosclerosis.“ In some cases, plaque can break or rupture. As a result, blood cells called platelets will try to repair the artery, forming a blood clot. ...
Coronary calcium score correlated with age (p less than 0.01) and triglycerides (p less than 0.05).The close relation between coronary calcium and extracoronary plaques suggests that echography of extracoronary vessels could aid in the screening of coronary atherosclerosis in high-risk, asymptomatic ...
In each coronary artery segment, coronary atherosclerosis was defined as tissue structures >1 mm2that existed either within the coronary artery lumen or adjacent to the coronary artery lumen that could be discriminated from surrounding pericardial tissue, epicardial fat, or the vessel lumen itself. Co...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether such calcifications could predict the presence of coronary atherosclerosis. Methods: A total of 319 female patients between 50 and 70 years of age, 187 with significant CAD and 132 with angiographically normal coronary arteries, were randomly ...
