Arterial sites susceptible to lipid accumulation and lesion progression. Phase of minimal atherosclerotic change. Link between minimal and advanced disease: Pools of extracellular lipid have formed (type III lesion). Phase of advanced atherosclerotic disease. Regression of atherosclerotic lesions in human subjects. Regression experiments in animals. Studies of regressing and residual lesion composition in rhesus monkeys. Reference. Section II: Atherosclerosis illustrated. Index.
SynopsisThis uniquely illustrated atlas and text explains the evolution of atherosclerosis from initially minimal lipid deposits in the arteries of children, through histologically advanced but clinically silent lesions present in most younger adults, to lesion types that obstruct the vascular lumen and produce symptoms. To physicians and researchers, the volume offers a standard framework of histological morphologies of atherosclerotic lesions, providing a basis for correlation with morphologies determined by a variety of clinical imaging techniques and for recognizing changes in lesion progression, stabilization, or regression.
