atherosclerosis

listen to the pronunciation of atherosclerosis
İngilizce - İngilizce
The clogging or hardening of arteries or blood vessels caused by plaques (accumulations of fatty deposits, usually cholesterol)
{i} disease characterized by cholesterol deposits in the arteries
A condition that exists when too much cholesterol builds up in the blood and accumulates in the walls of the blood vessels
A disease process that leads to the accululation of fat, cholesterol and other substances, usually termed plaque, within the blood vessel walls
the disease of accumulated plaque (built-up waxy substance) in the blood vessels
A type of arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis is a complex process of thickening and narrowing of the arterial walls caused by the accumulation of lipids, primarily cholesterol, in the inner layer of an artery With the addition of other debris and connective tissue, blood flow is restricted and can lead to a heart attack or a stroke
The deposition of materials along the arterial walls, a type of arteriosclerosis
-A gradual process that occurs when cholesterol collects under the inner lining of artery walls due to damage from uncontrolled high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, or high blood cholesterol The deposits (cholesterol plaques) eventually result in fibrosis and calcification, which may narrow or block the artery and hinder blood flow Also called "hardening of the arteries," the disease can produce angina pectoris, heart attack, or stroke
A narrowing of the arteries, which become clogged by fatty plaques which impede blood flow
Narrowing of the coronary arteries caused by cholesterol deposits along arterial walls
Hardening of the arteries Fatty deposits called plaques form on the inner lining of the lumen The narrowed passageway that results decreases the flow of oxygen-rich blood through the heart, which can increase the risk for angina
a type of artery desease characterized by patchynodular thickenings of the inner walls of thearteries, especially at branch points This is the major type of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
clogging, narrowing, and hardening of the body's large arteries and medium-sized blood vessels Atherosclerosis can lead to stroke, heart attack, eye problems, and kidney problems
The process whereby abnormal deposits of lipids, cholesterol and plaque build up, leading to narrowing or blockage in arteries taking blood to the hand, foot head or vital organs Also called arteriosclerosis
A disease state characterized by fatty deposits in the arteries
—The progressive narrowing and hardening of the arteries over time, known to occur to some degree with aging; but other risk factors (such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and family history for atherosclerotic disease) that accelerate this process have been identified
fatty coating on the inside walls of the arteries It "furs" them up and narrows them This makes the blood flow too slowly
the build up of cholesterol and other fat deposits, known as plaque, on the inner layer of an artery
a stage of arteriosclerosis involving fatty deposits (atheromas) inside the arterial walls
A narrowing and hardening of blood vessels caused by a build-up of plaque
hardening of the arteries
A hardening of the walls of the arteries caused by fatty deposits that build on the inner walls of the arteries which interfere with blood flow
term applied to a variety of conditions where there is a thickening, hardening, and/or loss of elasticity of the artery walls resulting in altered function of tissues and organs
A type of "hardening of the arteries" in which cholesterol, fat, and other blood components build up in the walls of arteries As the condition progresses, the arteries to the heart may narrow, reducing the flow of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the heart
or hardening of the arteries Chronic disease characterized by abnormal thickening of the walls of the arteries due to fatty deposits (atheromas) of cholesterol on the arterial inner walls (seeartery). These thicken, forming plaques that narrow the vessel channel (lumen) and impede blood flow. Scarring and calcification make the walls less elastic, raising blood pressure. Eventually plaques may completely block a lumen, or a blood clot (thrombus) may obstruct a narrowed channel. Atherosclerosis of one or more coronary arteries (also called coronary heart disease) can decrease the heart muscle's blood supply, causing angina pectoris. Complete blockage causes heart attack. In the brain, atherosclerosis may result in stroke. Treatments include drugs that reduce the level of cholesterol and fat in the blood, anticoagulants and other drugs that prevent the formation of blood clots, coronary bypass, and balloon angioplasty
Arteriosclerosis characterized by irregularly distributed lipid deposits in large and medium-sized arteries; such deposits provoke fibrosis and calcification (hardening of the tissues)
a type of arteriosclerosis caused by a build-up of plaque in the inner lining of an artery
A disease process that leads to the accumulation of a waxy substance, called plaque, inside blood vessels
Buildup of fatty deposits on the inner surface of arteries that leads to plaque formation; eventually these deposits can block blood flow through arteries, leading to ischemia (inadequate blood supply to tissue) or infarction (death of tissue due to prolonged loss of blood supply)
atherosclerotic
Of, pertaining to, or afflicted with atherosclerosis
atherosclerotic
{s} suffering from atherosclerosis (cholesterol deposits in the arteries)
atherosclerotic
of or relating to atherosclerosis
