Extractions: Hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, is the cause of more than half of all mortality in developed countries and the leading cause of death in the US. When it affects the coronary arteries , it is the underlying cause of most heart attacks and a common cause of congestive heart failure and arrhythmias The pathological process begins very early with a fatty streak composed of lipid deposited in the intima of arteries. Modified macrophages known as foam cells accumulate in the plaque region. These foam cells accumulate lipids , especially oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL). These lipoproteins and cholesterol esters induce collagen synthesis by subintimal fibroblasts . When the lesion becomes infiltrated with fibrous material it protrudes into the lumen of the artery. The lesion itself rarely occludes the artery but rather it is blood clots that form on top of the plaque that close off the channel. Chronic lesions become calcified and the elasticity of the vessel is decreased. This hardening of the arteries causes an increase in resistance to blood flow and therefore an increase in

http://www.crha-health.ab.ca/hlthconn/items/ather.htm

Extractions: ("Hardening of the Arteries") Atherosclerosis (ATH/err/oh/skler/OH/sis), commonly referred to as "hardening of the arteries," is the build up of fatty materials (plaque) on the inside of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is responsible for most cardiovascular disease. It is useful to compare atherosclerosis to what happens to a waterpipe over time. Rust and sediment from the water can begin to collect along the inside surface of the water pipe. Gradually the inside surface of the pipe, which was once smooth, becomes rough and begins to narrow. The flow of water may eventually be reduced to a thin stream and one day the waterflow may be blocked completely. Just like the water pipe, the inner walls of your arteries start out smooth so that the blood can flow through them easily. Gradually, the inner surface of your arteries can be made rough by fatty deposits or plaques and blood flow through them can become reduced. As blood passes more slowly through these rough, narrowed arteries, blood clots are more likely to form. In some cases, blood clots become so large that they block an artery completely. Narrowing, loss of elasticity or blockage of an artery can have serious effects on the part of the body that depends on that artery for a steady supply of blood. For example:

Extractions: ATHEROSCLEROSIS: 1994 Atherosclerosis: Overview Disease due to atherosclerosis are the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming over 780,000 lives in 1992. Furthermore 12 million people worldwide die of diseases associated with atherosclerosis. It is estimated that atherosclerosis cost the economy 100 billion dollars each year. ATHEROSCLEROSIS: PLAQUE DEVELOPMENT The gradual progression of plaque growth is punctuated by rapid thrombosis formation which leads to clinical symptoms such as unstable angina, MI or stroke. Thrombus formation is initiated by episodic plaque rupture which exposes flowing blood to tissue factor inducing coagulation, and to collagen which activates platelets. Most times this thrombus is lyses but the residual thrombus is a nidus for future coagulation. Therefore atherosclerosis is a two stage process. The first is growth of the plaque which is mediated by endothelial injury and cytokines. The second is thrombotic. Studies have shown that the average size coronary lesion that leads to infarction is a 50% stenotic one. Large lesion often occlude silently, perhaps due to collateral formation.

Atherosclerosis Article
atherosclerosis isn'ta universal malady. By William R. Ladd, MD Directorof Nuclear Cardiology. Most strokes also are atherosclerosisrelated.
http://www.cardio.com/articles/atherosc.htm

Extractions: "Oh, well," sighed the middle-aged man on the examining table. "I guess it's just a part of growing older." "It" is coronary artery disease. Given the incidence of heart disease and strokes in this country, it is easy to understand why patients think atherosclerosis the progressive narrowing of arteries from cholesterol plaque deposits is inevitable. But it isn't. If you don't have any of the five major heart risk factors smoking, a family history of heart disease, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes, you aren't at significant risk of developing blocked heart arteries, which account for the great majority of heart attacks. Controlling atherosclerosis would also sharply reduce the incidence of potentially deadly heartbeat irregularities called malignant arrhythmias, which are also generally a product of damage to the heart muscle from lack of blood supply due to blocked arteries. Most strokes also are atherosclerosis-related. Bluntly stated, heart-related death would be a relative novelty if people didn't give themselves atherosclerosis. Smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol are all controllable, and even the genetic tendency to develop hardening of the arteries doesn't make it a doom. Detected early enough, it can be controlled, or at least treated before it becomes life- threatening.

Extractions: Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is usually a lifelong disease that causes very few symptoms until it is very advanced. Diagnosis and assessment consists of measuring recumbent, sitting, and standing blood pressures . Repeated, reproducible measurements of elevated blood pressures are indicative of hypertension. Levels that are considered hypertensive are related to age. Borderline hypertension is adults is said to be present if blood pressure is consistently measured at 140/90 to 160/95. Diastolic pressure in the range of 95-104 is considered mild hypertension while that of 105-114 are moderate and severe hypertension occurs at pressures of 115 and above. Most frequently hypertension exists as mixed systolic and diastolic hypertension. The prognosis for untreated hypertension is not good. End organ damage due to damaged blood vessels in the kidney heart , and brain lead to renal failure, coronary artery disease and stroke. Black people are at a greater risk than whites, men more so than women, and postmenopausal women are more at risk than those still under the protective effects of
NIH Press Release - Aggressive Cholesterol Lowering Reduces Atherosclerosis Prog
A study by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Aggressive shows that lowering of cholesterol in reduction of progression of atherosclerosis in their bypass grafts.
http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/jan97/nhlbi-15.htm

Extractions: Progression in Bypass Grafts Aggressive lowering of LDL-cholesterol (to under 100 mg/dL) in patients who have had coronary artery bypass surgery results in less progression of atherosclerosis in their bypass grafts than does more moderate lowering, according to the results of a large clinical trial funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The study was reported in the January 16 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine Coronary artery bypass surgery using saphenous veins (as performed in this study) is a common procedure. Like coronary arteries, vein grafts are subject to the development of atherosclerosis, a process in which arteries become blocked with accumulations of fat and cholesterol. "This study provides a definitive answer to the question of whether coronary bypass grafts respond to cholesterol lowering similarly to coronary arteries. Furthermore, it is clear from this research that the degree of LDL cholesterol lowering is a critical factor in atherosclerosis progression," said NHLBI Director Dr. Claude Lenfant. The Post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (Post CABG) study found that bypass patients treated with higher doses of two cholesterol lowering drugs lovastatin and cholestyramine and who achieved greater reductions in their LDL cholesterol had a significantly lower average percentage of grafts per patient showing progression of atherosclerosis than patients treated with a more moderate regimen (28 percent versus 39 percent).

Extractions: With normal cholesterol and no family history of heart disease, coronary artery disease was the furthest thing from his mind... more THE CONDITION The heart is a muscle that pumps oxygen-filled blood to all parts of the body. In healthy adults, the heart is usually about the size of a closed fist and pumps approximately 1,900 gallons of blood through the circulatory system every day. Blood flows out from the heart through the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. All of the major arteries branch from the aorta and carry blood to all parts of the body. Blood vessels called "veins" return the blood to the heart. After picking up oxygen from the lungs, the blood is pumped out to the body again. The movement of blood through the heart, lungs and body is called "circulation." As the heart pumps, it produces a pulse. Counting the pulse tells us how many times the heart pumps or beats per minute. Like any other muscle, the heart needs oxygen to live and work. The coronary arteries branch off from the aorta very close to the heart and carry oxygen-rich blood along the heart's surface and into the muscle itself. There are three major coronary arteries: the Right Coronary Artery (RCA), the Left Anterior Descending (LAD), and the Circumflex (CX). These major arteries branch into smaller arteries that supply every part of the heart muscle with blood.

Extractions: Atherosclerosis Also indexed as: Arterial Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Coronary Heart Disease, Hardening of the Arteries, Plaque (Arterial) Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is a very common disease of the major blood vessels. It is characterized by fatty streaks along the vessel walls and by deposits of cholesterol and calcium. Atherosclerosis of arteries supplying the heart is called coronary artery disease. It can restrict the flow of blood to the heart, which often triggers heart attacks intermittent claudication People with elevated cholesterol levels are much more likely to have atherosclerosis than people with low cholesterol levels. Many important nutritional approaches to protecting against atherosclerosis are aimed at lowering serum cholesterol levels. People with diabetes are also at very high risk for atherosclerosis, as are people with elevated triglycerides and high homocysteine
