As the artery walls thicken, the pathway for blood narrows. This can decrease or block blood flow through the body. Plaque is formed from cholesterol, fat, calcium, and other substances in the blood. When blood cholesterol levels are high, there is a greater chance that plaque will build up on the artery walls. In most people, this process begins when they are children or teenagers and worsens as they get older.

Getting to the Heart of Atherosclerosis It's an insidious process, beginning at an early age. The linings of our arteries begin to show the wear and tear of living. Thin, fibrous patches on our arterial walls begin to form and gradually become more widespread over the years. In some people, the process goes out of control. Large, hard, yellow masses called plaques begin to form, constricting the arteries. The process is known as atherosclerosis, and it is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. When atherosclerosis blocks the coronary arteries, a heart attack can be the result. But the condition can occur elsewhere in the body with similarly devastating effects. In the legs, it can make walking painful and difficult. When it occurs in the carotid arteries of the neck, which supply blood to the brain, atherosclerosis can lead to stroke. The UW School of Medicine has the largest research program on atherosclerosis in the country. Researchers there not only have been studying what causes these changes in the structure of the arterial wall, but also have developed new and innovative ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat the condition. UW professors Russell Ross and John Glomset are credited with formulating the dominant hypothesis about what causes atherosclerosis. Ross is a professor of pathology and director of the UW's Center for Vascular Biology; Glomset is a professor of medicine and biochemistry.

Medical Services Treatment of Early Atherosclerosis at Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic is one of only a few medical centers in the country that has combined advanced risk-factor testing, cardiology consultation and leading-edge treatment to serve patients who have a family history of coronary heart disease (CHD) or who, at a relatively young age, develop hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Diagnosis The comprehensive assessment offered at Mayo Clinic is tailored to the individual and is based upon Mayo's nationally recognized research on cardiovascular disease. If a patient has novel risk factors that have recently been associated with coronary heart disease, emphasis is placed on expanding the cardiovascular risk profiling beyond conventional methods of risk assessment.

Atherosclerosis DESCRIPTION: The common form of arteriosclerosis in which deposits of yellowish plaques (atheromas) containing cholesterol, lipoid material, and lipophages are formed within the intima and inner media of large and medium sized arteries. System(s) affected: Cardiovascular Genetics: Probable genetic link; many risk factors for atherosclerosis (lipid metabolism, hypertension, and diabetes) are clearly inheritable Incidence/Prevalence in USA: Common, but declining steadily. The effects upon the brain, heart, kidneys, extremities and other vital organs form the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the USA and most Western countries. Complications of atherosclerosis account for 1/2 of all deaths, and 1/3 of deaths in persons between ages 35-65 Predominant age: 35 and older Predominant sex: CAUSES: Biochemical, physiologic, environmental factors that lead to thickening and occlusion of the lumen of arteries Aging (some degree of atherosclerosis is universal) One or more of the risk factors listed below ICD-9-CM: 414.0 Coronary atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis: An Infectious Disease? R. MICHAEL BENITEZ University of Maryland h Traditional risk factors do not fully account for atherogenesis. There is increasing evidence that infectious pathogens, such as Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus, and Chlamydia pneumoniae, may promote the atherosclerotic cascade. Proposed mechanisms include macrophage transformation, endothelial injury, chronic inflammation, and thrombosis. Specific antibiotic therapy may affect outcome. Dr. Benitez is Assistant Professor, Division of Cardiology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore. Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) causes more than 1.5 million myocardial infarctions and contributes to 33% of all deaths in the United States each year. Age, gender, and a family history of CAD are recognized risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis, along with the modifiable risks of smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia. Although treatment of modifiable risk factors is imperative, it is equally important that we continue to search for other contributors to the evolution of the atherosclerotic process. Considering the ubiquitous nature of infectious pathogens in human disease, it is not incongruous to ask whether there is a link between chronic infection and atherosclerotic disease. In the 1970s, experimental work suggested that such a link may exist. At that time, investigators reported that typical atherosclerosis developed in an avian model after the birds were infected with gallid herpesvirus (Marek's disease virus). Since then, seroepidemiologic investigations, microscopic examination of atherosclerotic plaques, and animal and human studies have suggested a possible link between the
