Aorta affected by atherosclerosis & normal one
Atherosclerosis. Cross-sections showing a comparison between a healthy aorta (bottom), the main artery of the body, and one showing several plaques (yellow-white) of atheroma. Atheroma plaques consist of a mixture of fat deposits, decaying muscle cells, fibrous tissue, clumps of blood platelets and cholesterol. The development of such plaques leads to atherosclerosis (narrowing of the aorta, stenosis); atherosclerosis may cause an aortic aneurysm, the ballooning of the aortic wall, which may require surgery to correct impaired blood flow and to remove the risk of rupture and fatal blood loss.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the stark contrast between a healthy aorta and one affected by atherosclerosis. The image reveals two cross-sections side by side, with the bottom section displaying a pristine, unobstructed artery while the top section exhibits several yellow-white plaques of atheroma. Atheroma plaques are composed of an amalgamation of fat deposits, decaying muscle cells, fibrous tissue, blood platelet clusters, and cholesterol. These plaques gradually develop within the arterial walls and contribute to the narrowing of the aorta—a condition known as atherosclerosis or stenosis. Unfortunately, this process can lead to further complications such as aneurysms in which the weakened arterial wall balloons outwards. The severity of these conditions often necessitates surgical intervention to rectify impaired blood flow and mitigate the risk of rupture resulting in fatal blood loss. This thought-provoking image serves as both an educational tool for medical professionals studying vascular diseases like arteriosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) and artery disease while also raising awareness about their potential consequences among individuals concerned about their cardiovascular health. Science Photo Library continues its commitment to providing invaluable visual resources that aid in understanding various diseases and disorders affecting our bodies' intricate systems—ultimately contributing to advancements in medicine and healthcare practices worldwide.
