Atherosclerosis
• Atherosclerosis is a complex disease characterized by thickening or
hardening of arteries due to the accumulation of lipids (particularly
cholesterol, free, and esterified) collagen, fibrous tissue, proteoglycans,
calcium deposits etc. in the inner arterial wall resulting in formation of
plaque that narrows and ultimately blocks the arteries causing the stoppage
of blood flow resulting in the death of affected tissue. Coronary arteries—
the arteries supplying blood to heart—are the most commonly affected
leading to myocardial infarction or heart attacks.
Pathophysiology of atherosclerosis
Causes of atherosclerosis
High LDL: The development of atherosclerosis and the risk for the coronary heart
disease (CHD) is directly correlated with plasma cholesterol and LDL. On the other
hand, plasma HDL is inversely correlated with CHD. The increased levels of
plasma HDL (good cholesterol) are correlated with a low incidence of
cardiovascular disorders.
Lipoprotein a : Lipoprotein a (Lp-a) is almost identical in structure to LDL. Lp-a
contains an additional apoprotein, apo-a. Lp-a inhibits fibrinolysis. The elevation of
lipoprotein-a in the plasma (>30 mg/dl) suggests increased risk of CHD. It is
hypothesized that elevated Lp-a reduces the breakdown of blood clots by interfering
with plasminogen activation. This results in intravascular thrombosis, and increased
risk of heart attacks.
. Disorders that may cause atherosclerosis: Certain diseases are associated with
atherosclerosis. These include diabetes mellitus, hyperlipoproteinemias, nephrotic
syndrome, hypothyroidism etc. Many other factors like obesity, high consumption
of saturated fat, excessive smoking, lack of physical exercise, hypertension, stress
etc., are the probable causes of atherosclerosis.
Diagnosis
Blood tests: blood tests usually show
• High LDL
• Low HDL
• High total cholestrol
• High Lipoprotein a(Lp-a)
Treatment
Can be reduced by dietery changes and life style modifications such as
• Strenuous physical exercise
• Moderate alcohol intake,
• Consumption of unsaturated fatty acids (vegetable and fish oils),
• Reduction in body weight
—all tend to increase HDL levels and reduce the risk CHD
