Achronic inflammatory disease characterised by the accumulation of lipids, cells, and fibrous elements in the large-and medium-sized arteries, especially the coronary arteries.
Epidemiology
Coronary atherosclerosis is a leading cause of death worldwide.
Incidence of coronary atherosclerosis rises with increasing age.
Pathophysiology
Endothelial injury β Increased vascularpermeabilityΒ β Lipid accumulation β Monocyte migrationΒ and differentiation into macrophages β Macrophage lipid uptake β Formation of foam cells β Atheroma formation.
Aetiology/Risk Factors
Non-modifiable:Age, male gender, family history of premature coronary artery disease.
Associated with high morbidity and mortality, however, prompt diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes.
Complications
Myocardial infarction
Chronic stable angina
Heart failure
Cardiac arrhythmias
Sudden cardiac death
Key Points
Coronary atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death worldwide.
Prevention and risk factor modification are pivotal in disease management.
Early detection and intervention can significantly improve outcomes.
