Coronary Atherosclerosis: Understanding Plaque Deposition and Its Impact on Heart Health
Received Date: May 01, 2024 / Published Date: May 30, 2024
Abstract
Coronary atherosclerosis involves the accumulation of plaques within the walls of the coronary arteries, resulting in the obstruction of blood flow to the heart. This condition, often asymptomatic until advanced stages, significantly increases the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack). Understanding the mechanisms of plaque formation and progression is crucial for developing effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. This review examines current research on the pathophysiology of coronary atherosclerosis, emphasizing its implications for cardiovascular health and patient management.
