Atherosclerosis in artery, artwork C016 / 6571
Atherosclerosis in artery. Artwork of a longitudinal section through an artery that has been narrowed by atherosclerosis. Narrowing is referred to as stenosis. The flow of red blood cells (erythrocytes) is inhibited at the constricted point. Atherosclerosis is a condition where deposits called atheromas form on the inner walls of blood vessels. Atheromas typically consist of cholesterol, decaying cells, blood cells and fatty proteins. Narrowed blood vessels raises blood pressure, which puts strain on the heart. Atheromas blocking coronary blood vessels cause heart attacks

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Atherosclerosis in artery, artwork C016 / 6571" provides a detailed visual representation of the effects of atherosclerosis on an artery. The longitudinal section reveals how this condition narrows the artery, leading to stenosis and inhibiting the flow of red blood cells (erythrocytes) at the constricted point. Atherosclerosis is a medical disorder characterized by the formation of deposits called atheromas on the inner walls of blood vessels. These deposits consist of cholesterol, decaying cells, blood cells, and fatty proteins. As blood vessels become narrowed due to these blockages, it raises blood pressure and puts strain on the heart. In particular, when coronary blood vessels are blocked by atheromas, they can lead to heart attacks. This illustration highlights how such blockages impede normal circulation within our bodies. The image emphasizes key terms related to this disease including arterial wall health issues such as arteriosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction. It also mentions associated conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension), peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD), and thrombosis. This artwork serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals studying cardiovascular diseases or individuals seeking knowledge about vascular health disorders.
