sebaceous cyst

It is caused by the formation of multiple atheroma within the arteries.

A post-mortem showed coronary atheroma to have been the cause of death.

In the early hours of 5 April 1973, he died suddenly of coronary atheroma.

Angiography, since the 1960s, has been the traditional way of evaluating for atheroma.

Coleman died in 1973, at the age of 44, of sudden coronary atheroma.

Many approaches have been promoted as methods to reduce atheroma progression:

If this latter event occurs, the result may be difficult to distinguish from a stroke due to atheroma in these arteries.

Hogg died on August 19, 1975, at the age of 93, from a heart attack resulting from atheroma.

In effect, the muscular portion of the artery wall forms small aneurysms just large enough to hold the atheroma that are present.

In stable angina, the developing atheroma is protected with a fibrous cap.

Typically, such regions start occurring within the heart arteries about 2-3 decades after atheroma start developing.

Behind the tip is a tough plastic balloon which can then be expanded forcefully, flattening the atheroma.

Certain stimuli that cause atheroma may lead to enhanced sensitivity of vasculature.

Angiography only reveals the edge of the atheroma that protrudes into the lumen.

Studies have also found that statins reduce atheroma progression.

Therefore, existing diagnostic strategies for detecting atheroma and tracking response to treatment have been extremely limited.

This can have the effect of accelerating the build-up of atheroma which in turn eventually leads to heart disease.

The most common cause of sudden cardiac death in adults over the age of 30 is coronary artery atheroma.

If the enlargement is beyond proportion to the atheroma thickness, then an aneurysm is created.

However this can only occur if the atheroma progresses slowly, giving the anastomoses a chance to proliferate.

Fatty streak, the earliest stages of atheroma.

Angiography does not visualize atheroma; it only makes the blood flow within blood vessels visible.

Doctors have discovered that in suitable cases the lumpy atheroma deposits can be squeezed flat, widening the arteries again.

Vaccination against TIE-2-positive cells appears to reduce atheroma formation in experimental animals.

Atheroma in aorta and coronaries frequently undergo calcification.
