A Selection of Mechanisms Relevant to Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is the growth of fatty lesions in blood vessel walls, leading eventually to a rupture and blockage to cause a heart attack or stroke, and along the way causing narrowing of blood vessels sufficient to lead to heart failure and dysfunction elsewhere in the body as the supply of blood to tissues is reduced. Today’s paper on this topic is a little disorganized, something of a random assembly of thoughts on mechanisms relevant to the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the single largest cause of human mortality, and attempts to treat contributing mechanisms have so far not stopped it from being the single largest cause of human mortality. So perhaps it is something that …
