A patchy thickening of the inner lining of arteries caused by deposits of lipids surrounded by growing connective tissue.

A single lesion found in atherosclerosis, composed of lipids and connective tissue.

High blood pressure, a major risk factor for atherosclerosis.

High levels of cholesterol in the blood, a major risk factor for atherosclerosis.

A factor that contributes to atherosclerosis, leading to endothelial damage.

Damaged lining of the arteries, a key event in atherosclerosis.

A process that begins with endothelial damage and leads to the formation of atheromas.

Large arteries like the aorta and its main branches are often affected by atherosclerosis.

Smaller arteries like the coronaries, cerebral, and renal arteries are also prone to atherosclerosis.

Medium-sized arteries like the femoral artery can be affected by atherosclerosis.

A blood clot formed inside a blood vessel during life, composed of platelets, fibrin, cells, and plasma proteins.

A triad of factors contributing to thrombus formation: endothelial injury, abnormal blood flow, and hypercoagulability.

A thrombus that blocks a vessel, preventing blood flow.

A thrombus that does not completely obstruct a vessel.

A thrombus that forms in an artery.

A thrombus that forms in a vein.

A thrombus that forms in the heart.

A mass of material transported in the bloodstream that blocks a vessel.

An embolus consisting of a fragment of a thrombus.

The process of a thrombus being dissolved by fibrinolytic agents in the blood.

A blockage in an artery caused by a buildup of plaque or blood clots, often leading to serious complications like heart attack or stroke.

Narrowing of an artery due to plaque buildup, often causing reduced blood flow and pain.

A condition characterized by a narrowing of the coronary arteries, often leading to chest pain and shortness of breath.

A heart attack caused by a complete blockage of a coronary artery, leading to damage of the heart muscle.

A condition in which the femoral artery (leading to the leg) is narrowed, causing pain in the legs during walking.

A condition where the femoral artery is completely blocked, causing tissue death and potentially gangrene in the leg.

A blood clot that forms in a large artery, potentially breaking off to travel to another area and cause a blockage.

A localized bulge or swelling in an artery, often due to weakening of the artery wall.

Hypertension with no identifiable cause, accounting for the vast majority of cases.
