Coronary atherosclerosis is a series of pathological changes that cause endothelial damage to the coronary arteries for various reasons, making the walls of the arteries harden, become less elastic, and even develop plaques.
Coronary atherosclerosis is a pathological change that occurs in the coronary arteries of the heart.
Due to ageing, deposition of lipid cells in the vascular endothelium, high blood pressure, diabetes and other factors can cause a certain degree of damage to the vascular endothelium, resulting in hardening changes such as stiffening of the walls of coronary arteries, poor elasticity, and even the appearance of fatty streaks, fibrous plaques, resulting in stenosis or blockage of coronary arteries.
Coronary atherosclerosis may lead to coronary heart disease, so it is necessary to actively control various risk factors to avoid further development of the disease.
