Pathophysiology
Atherosclerosis develops as a
chronic inflammatory response of
the arterial wall to endothelial
injury.
Lesion progression occurs through
interactions of modified lipoproteins,
monocyte-derived macrophages, T-
lymphocytes, and the normal
cellular constituent of the arterial
wall.

Symptoms
Atherosclerosis develops gradually,
typically begins in early
adolescence, and is usually found in
most major arteries. There are
usually no atherosclerosis symptoms
until an artery is so narrowed or
clogged that it can't supply
adequate blood to your organs and
tissues. Sometimes a blood clot
completely obstructs blood flow, or
even breaks apart and causes blood
Symptoms
Atherosclerosis symptoms depend on which
arteries are affected. For example:
Atherosclerosis in heart arteries, have
symptoms similar to
those of a heart attack, such as chest pain
(angina).
Atherosclerosis in the arteries leading to
brain, have symptoms such as sudden
numbness or weakness in your arms or legs,
difficulty speaking or slurred speech, or
drooping muscles in your face.
Atherosclerosis in the arteries in arms
and legs, produces decreased blood flow is
called peripheral artery occlusive disease

The complicationsComplications
of atherosclerosis
depend on the location of the blocked
arteries. For example:
Coronary artery disease. When
atherosclerosis narrows the arteries close to
your heart, you may develop coronary
artery disease, which can cause chest pain
(angina) or a heart attack.
Carotid artery disease. When
atherosclerosis narrows the arteries close to
your brain, you may develop carotid artery
disease, which can cause a transient
ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.

Peripheral artery Complications
disease. When atherosclerosis
narrows the arteries in your arms or legs, you may
develop circulation problems in your arms and legs
called peripheral arterial disease. This can make you
less sensitive to heat and cold, increasing your risk of
burns or frostbite. In rare cases, poor circulation in your
arms or legs can cause tissue death (gangrene).
Aneurysms. Atherosclerosis can also cause
aneurysms, a serious complication that can occur
anywhere in your body. An aneurysm is a bulge in the
wall of your artery. Pain and throbbing in the area of an
aneurysm is a common symptom. If an aneurysm
bursts, you may face life-threatening internal bleeding.
Although this is usually a sudden, catastrophic event, a
slow leak is possible. If a blood clot within an
aneurysm dislodges, it may obstruct an artery at some
Tests
Doctors may find signsand diagnosis
of narrowed, enlarged
or hardened arteries during a physical
exam. These include:
A weak or absent pulse below the narrowed
area of the artery
Decreased blood pressure in an affected
limb
Whooshing sounds (bruits) over the arteries,
heard with a stethoscope
Signs of a pulsating bulge (aneurysm) in the
abdomen or behind knee
Evidence of poor wound healing in the area
where blood
Tests and diagnosis
Depending on the results of the physical
exam, doctors may suggest one or
more diagnostic tests, including:
Blood tests.
Doppler ultrasound
Ankle-brachial index.
Other imaging tests.
Angiogram.
Electrocardiogram (ECG).
Lifestyle and home
remedies
Lifestyle changes can help prevent
or slow the progression of
atherosclerosis.
Stop smoking.
Exercise most days of the
week.
Eat healthy foods
Manage stress
manage the condition of high
cholesterol, high blood pressure,
diabetes or other chronic disease
Treatments and drugs
Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet
and exercising, are often the first line of
defense in treating atherosclerosis. But
sometimes, medication or surgical procedures
may be recommended as well.
Various drugs can slow or sometimes even
reverse the effects of atherosclerosis. Here
are some common choices:
Cholesterol medications. Aggressively
lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol, can slow,
stop or even reverse the buildup of fatty
deposits in arteries. Boosting your high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good"
cholesterol, may help, too. cholesterol
Treatments and drugs
Anti-platelet medications. Doctors may
prescribe anti- platelet medications, such
as aspirin, to reduce the likelihood that
platelets will clump in narrowed arteries,
form a blood clot and cause further
blockage.
Anticoagulants. An anticoagulant, such
as heparin or warfarin (Coumadin), can
help thin blood to prevent clots from
forming.
Blood pressure medications.
Medications to control blood pressure
such as beta blockers, angiotensin-
converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and
calcium channel blockers can help slow
