atherosclerosis(English)
- a chronic, lipid-driven inflammatory vascular disease, with both innate and adaptive immune responses involved in its development. Dysmetabolic conditions, ranging from diabetes to obesity, elicit overt or subclinical inflammatory reactions. The general role of inflammatory reactions is in the amplification of innate resistance and tissue repair, leading to a return to homeostasis. Atherosclerosis preferentially occurs where endothelial cells experience low-magnitude and oscillatory shear stress from disturbed blood flow
