Atherosclerosis causes narrowing (stenosis) and the accumulation of fatty deposits forming plaques inside the walls of the arteries, the events in the development of atherosclerosis are:

  • Formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the wall of the aorta and arteries.
  • Calcification of atherosclerotic plaques.
  • Formation of clots in the lumen of the artery that can suddenly block it.

What is atherosclerosis?

It is a disease that causes narrowing of the arteries that can progress to the occlusion of the vessel, preventing the proper flow of blood through the artery.

Events in the development of atherosclerosis

  • It is characterized by the development of multiple focal lesions, called atherosclerotic plaques.

  • These plaques calcify and ulcerate.

  • As the plaque grows in the artery, it gradually narrows and then becomes obstructed, that is, a blood clot can form, which, if it occupies the entire interior of the artery, completely blocks the blood supply.

Therefore, we can conclude that atherosclerosis causes narrowing (stenosis) and the accumulation of fatty deposits that eventually block the artery where less blood can pass through the blocked area.
