Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

NOVEMBER 9, 2023

IntroductionAtherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of the arteries, occurs due to the buildup of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries which can result in reduced blood flow to the organs and tissues. Risk factors such as smoking, chronic kidney disease, and aging can contribute to plaque formation.

However, CTA head and neck 4 days later demonstrated 90 percent stenosis of the mid left V2 at the C3‐4 level and a 75‐90 percent stenosis of the left mid V2 segment at the C5‐6 level (hard and soft plaque in these areas). Episodes always occurred after activity and only upon sitting. He also had moderate stenosis of the right V4 segment.

While advances in treatment have reduced mortality in some regions, the atherosclerosis prevention remains challenging. This shift results from an epidemiologic transition: as infectious diseases decline, chronic conditions like atherosclerosis dominate.

The pathology that causes heart disease (atherosclerosis) is, by definition, the abnormal retention of a cholesterol particle in the artery wall. A heart attack is when that plaque ruptures and stops blood flow down the artery. Non-smoker, doesn’t have diabetes and is on no medications. 1 ” Good question.

When we say heart disease, what we really mean is plaque in the artery wall. This Is Known As Atherosclerosis. The fundamental cause of atherosclerosis is when a cholesterol particle crosses into the artery wall from the bloodstream, gets stuck, and sets off an inflammatory process 1. No atherosclerosis. No heart attacks.

Everyone starts with no plaque in the coronary arteries, but over a long enough time frame, everyone develops plaque in their coronary arteries. By age 80, almost everyone will have evidence of advanced plaque in their coronary arteries, as defined by a cardiac CT 1. Plaque accumulation happens in stages. You got it.

Specific genetic variants, such as those affecting cholesterol metabolism, can increase the likelihood of plaque buildup in the arteries. Inflammation: Genetic variations can make some people more prone to chronic inflammation, which contributes to the development of atherosclerosis.

PAD is a serious, progressive cardiovascular disease primarily caused by a buildup of fatty plaque in the blood vessels, or atherosclerosis. This plaque narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the legs and feet, which may significantly impair physical function, walking performance and quality of life.

About a fifth of all ischemic strokes are attributed to embolization of ruptured atherosclerotic plaque from carotid arterial stenosis. It has been mentioned that risk due to clonal hematopoiesis is equal in magnitude to conventional risk factors like smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes.
