Atherosclerosis involves complex cell interactions and inflammatory responses in artery walls. This review offers new scientific insights into preventing and treating this cardiovascular disease.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Science
  • Cell Biology
  • Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Atherosclerosis is a complex disease involving smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and platelets.
  • It stems from an inflammatory fibroproliferative response to arterial wall insults.
  • Growth regulatory molecules play a significant role in its development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the atherosclerotic process.
  • To provide new scientific insights into atherosclerosis prevention and treatment.
  • To describe implications for nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of atherosclerosis.
  • Analysis of cellular and molecular mechanisms.
  • Discussion of clinical implications.

Main Results:

  • Atherosclerosis involves intricate cell signaling and inflammatory pathways.
  • Growth factors are key regulators in atherosclerotic lesion development.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for effective intervention.

Conclusions:

  • New insights into atherosclerosis pathogenesis are presented.
  • Prevention and treatment strategies can be advanced by this understanding.
  • Nursing plays a vital role in managing patients with atherosclerosis.
