A deposit or degenerative accumulation of lipid-containing plaques on the innermost layer of the wall of an artery.<\/p>\n
The fatty deposit composed of lipids, complex carbohydrates and fibrous tissue which forms on the inner wall of blood vessels in atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n
Fatty deposit, also called arterial plaque, which is laid down in the inner lining of the artery walls. Atheroma causes narrowing and reduced blood flow, leading to heart attacks or strokes.<\/p>\n
An abnormal mass of fatty material that has been deposited in an artery wall.<\/p>\n
Thickening of the walls of an artery by deposits of a fatty substance such as cholesterol.<\/p>\n
Clump of material, a fatty deposit, from the lining (intima) of an artery.<\/p>\n
An abnormal growth of fatty tissue in or on the walls of a major artery. The term comes from the Greek word for “porridge,” which refers to the soft, lumpy appearance of atheromas. Atheromas have a central role in the disease atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n
Degeneration of the walls of the arteries due to the formation in them of fatty plaques and scar tissue. This limits blood circulation and predisposes to thrombosis. It is common in adults in Western countries. A diet rich in animal fats and refined sugar, cigarette smoking, obesity, and inactivity are the suggested causes. It may be symptomless but often causes complications from arterial obstruction in middle and late life (such as angina pectoris, heart attack, stroke, and gangrene). Treatment is by prevention, but some symptoms may be ameliorated by drug therapy (e.g. angina by glyceryl trinitrate) or by surgical bypass of the arterial obstruction.<\/p>\n
Fatty degeneration or thickening of the walls of the larger arteries occurring in atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n
Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fatty deposits on the inner lining of arteries, which leads to the narrowing of the blood vessels and impedes the flow of blood. These deposits are commonly referred to as atheromatous plaques.<\/p>\n
The buildup of fat in the arterial walls.<\/p>\n
