Artwork of artery narrowed by atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis. Illustration of a cross-section through an artery narrowed by atherosclerosis. Fat build-up (yellow) has narrowed the lumen (channel) of the artery thus restricting the blood flow. Red blood cells (red, disc shaped), yellow fatty particles and white blood cells (blue) are seen flowing through the artery. Narrowed arteries such arteries such as this are found most often in people who have a high concentration of cholesterol in their bloodstream. Narrowing of the arteries increases the risk of blood clots forming, and is associated with coronary heart disease and strokes

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the detrimental effects of atherosclerosis on our arteries. In this cross-section illustration, we witness the alarming consequences of fat build-up within an artery, resulting in its narrowing and restricting blood flow. The yellow fatty particles symbolize the accumulation that has constricted the lumen or channel of the artery, impeding the smooth passage of vital red blood cells. As we observe this intricate portrayal, it becomes evident that narrowed arteries like these are commonly found in individuals with high cholesterol levels in their bloodstream. This visual representation serves as a stark reminder of how lifestyle choices can impact our cardiovascular health. The presence of white blood cells flowing alongside red blood cells further emphasizes the severity of this condition. Not only does arterial narrowing increase the risk of dangerous blood clots forming but it is also closely associated with coronary heart disease and strokes – two life-threatening conditions that demand immediate attention. Through this thought-provoking artwork by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into arteriosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) caused by atheroma formation due to hyperlipidemia. It reminds us to prioritize our well-being by maintaining healthy lipid profiles and adopting heart-healthy habits to prevent such debilitating diseases from taking hold.
