Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Science
  • Pathology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death globally, necessitating a deep understanding of its pathogenesis.
  • This review focuses on the cellular and molecular events within the arterial wall during atherogenesis, excluding classical risk factors.
  • Key areas include endothelial dysfunction, infection, lesion development, cellular interactions, and thrombotic complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize current knowledge on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
  • To elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying atherogenesis within the arterial wall.
  • To discuss the role of endothelial dysfunction, infection, and cellular interactions in lesion development and thrombotic complications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on atherosclerosis.
  • Focus on cellular and molecular events within the arterial wall.
  • Analysis of mechanisms leading to atherosclerotic lesion development and thrombotic occlusion.

Main Results:

  • Endothelial dysfunction and infection are key initiators of atherosclerotic lesions.
  • Lesion development involves complex interactions between various cell types within the arterial wall.
  • Understanding these processes is critical for comprehending thrombotic occlusions causing heart attack and stroke.

Conclusions:

  • Atherogenesis is a complex process involving endothelial dysfunction, infection, and intricate cellular interactions.
  • Further research into these mechanisms, aided by animal models, is essential for combating atherosclerosis and its life-threatening complications.
