Video Clip SS2856028 (Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture)

This video showcases the progression of an Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture.

 Atherosclerosis is a disease that causes a blood vessel to narrow because of plaque buildup. This plaque can become a lesion after lipids (fatty material) accumulate in a specific location and a fibrous cap develops. 

That lesion has the possibility of bursting, causing a plaque rupture. Here the camera closes in on a sectioned artery with red and white bloods cells shown flowing within. 

The amount of plaque (yellow) on the arterial walls grows larger and develops its fibrous cap (white). The lesion then ruptures, sending the plaque and fibrous material into the bloodstream. 

Heart attack or stroke can result. Thrombosis (blood clotting) can occur before of after a plaque rupture.

Cholesterol Crystals

The gradual accumulation of fatty deposits, called plaques, within arteries is the hallmark of atherosclerosis – a condition associated with a high-risk of angina, heart attack and stroke. While the level of cholesterol in a person’s blood is a good indicator of their risk of developing atherosclerosis, it is possible to have high cholesterol for a long time without a heart attack. It’s now clear, however, that when cholesterol deposits harden into crystals – like the artifically-coloured ones pictured – the risk of a heart attack or stroke ramp up considerably. A recent study showed that of 240 patients admitted to emergency rooms for heart attacks, 89 percent had excessive amounts of crystallised cholesterol blocking their coronary arteries. Medications to dissolve these crystals could help patients at the highest risk, but sticking to a healthy diet and exercise regime should help to prevent their formation in the first place.

We want to improve BPoD. Please take a minute to answer our simple survey. It will make a huge difference!

 Said, that  I am needing removing her ,as with a surgery. Please say what is atheroma, and maybe plants would help me.

 Atheroma calling when  , and not a cancer tumour, this a not cancer, this is cyst. She's forming in result for blockage, an outlet for oily gland. This is ,like a ball, with a capsule with a blockage . Sometimes atheroma reporting with a skin surface through a small hole. And from her are ability secreting thick yellow mass. This is small around forming under skin, is having different size  from peas till chicken egg. A very small keeping, or enlarging  . She's displaying on the skin parts where are lots of oily glands  are on the face, hairs body side, between shoulder blades, armpits, or perineum . Atheromas having as single or multiple. As of unfavourable conditions, an external environment or metabolism destroy. And  such forming atheromas leading  are chronic injuries, hyperhidrosis, hormonal destroys. And having role as genetically. Atheroma  is mobility with surrounding tissues, and not hurt. Skin over her a natural colour, but not rare she is infecting, and in her having abscess. And here cyst is enlarging, redness, hurt, and temperature rising. As on these cases they are self opening , and on the skin surface is pus, like greasy masses. And in opening atheroma    contain can enter in  subcutaneous tissue.If atheroma not big and not worries, thus you cannot touch her. And in other cases is using surgery. And remove her under  local anaesthesia, and herbs will not remove her or dissolve, as and remedies. Today, using and laser method and radio wave  is a most effective, and save. And result is guarantee on100 percent, that atheroma is not forming again is on the same place. And not needing to apply sieves and remove in 5 days, so as with scalpel removing are needing sieve to remove in ten days.  Without scars.  in 4 months, trace not leaving. And patient not staying in stationary, he's keeping able-bodied.  If doctor put right diagnosis,that this is atheroma, thus not worry, thus better and in advance remove her by a radio wave method,as for avoiding complications are inflammations and not leaving a trace.

This test uses sound waves to show an ultrasound picture of the structure of an artery and the amount of blood flowing through it .Gel is applied to the skin, and a probe is placed over an area. A duplex ultrasound helps to tell where in the arteries the narrowing or blockage is and how much it is narrowed. It can be difficult to obtain a picture if you are very overweight or if you have a large build-up of atheroma (fatty material) in your arteries. This test can help to decide which treatment would be most suitable for you.

The most common reason for a venous ultrasound exam is to search for blood clots, especially in the veins of the leg. This condition is often referred to as deep vein thrombosis or DVT. These clots may break off and pass into the lungs, where they can cause a dangerous condition called pulmonary embolism. If the blood clot in the leg is found early enough, treatment can be started to prevent it from passing to the lung. A venous ultrasound study is also performed to: determine the cause of long-standing leg swelling. In people with a common condition called “varicose veins”, the valves that keep blood flowing back to the heart in the right direction may be damaged, and venous ultrasound can help the radiologist decide how best to deal with this condition.

Vascular ultrasound imaging is the examination of the body’s circulatory system.

It is performed for:

DVT Deep vein thrombosis ( blood clot ) in arms or legs

Arteries for flow limiting stenosis (usually leg arteries)

Peripheral veins to assess varicosities and venous reflux (insufficiency)

Thoracic outlet syndrome

Swollen legs or arms sometimes caused by a blood clot.

Pain in the legs after walking a certain distance is sometimes caused by reduced

Arterial blood flow to the legs by disease (intermittent claudication).

Varicose veins.

Blood clots may form when something slows or changes the flow of blood in the veins.

Risk factors include:

After a pacemaker catheter has been passed through the vein in the groin

Bed rest

Cigarette smoking

Family history of blood clots

Fractures in the pelvis or legs

Giving birth within the last 6 months

Heart failure

Obesity

Recent surgery (especially hip, knee, or female pelvic surgery)

Too many blood cells being made by the bone marrow (polycythemia vera), causing the blood to be thicker and slower than normal

You're also more likely to develop DVT if you have any of the following conditions:

Blood that is more likely to clot (hypercoagulability)

Cancer

Taking estrogens or birth control pills. This risk is even higher if you smoke.

DVTs are most common in adults over age 60, but can occur at any age. Sitting for long periods when traveling can increase the risk of DVTs. This is most likely when one or more of the risk factors listed above are also present.

Atherosclerosis: before chowing arteries, the risk starts “chewing your gums”

According to the Centres for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), 7.8 million adults have had a stroke once in their lives, and this makes up for 3.1% of the total population. Atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and other heart disease markers remain the top risk factors for stroke. A pair of new studies has revealed that gum diseases could be associated…

Polyamines and heart disease: foul enemy need fouler defyier

In an amusing but amazing turnaround, it seems the most foul-smelling compound on earth, called putrescine, could help relieve chronic inflammation, most importantly in the arterial thickening called atherosclerosis. This discovery is reported in the journal Cell Metabolismin January 2020. Putrescine, spermine and spermidine are all organic compounds belonging to the polyamine class, and found…
