Artwork of narrowed artery by atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis. Artwork illustrating a cross section through an artery narrowed by atherosclerosis. A raised yellow plaque is seen in the wall of the artery, this is made of lipids (yellow) and decaying muscle cells encasing crystals of calcium (white). At lower centre, red blood cells, yellow lipid particles, white blood cells (pink) and platelets (blue) are seen escaping. Plaques 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 stroke

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the detrimental effects of atherosclerosis on our arteries. The intricate cross-section of an artery reveals a distressing scene, as a yellow plaque protrudes from the arterial wall. This plaque is composed of lipids and decaying muscle cells that encase crystals of calcium, creating a visually striking contrast against the surrounding tissues. Intriguingly, this visual representation also captures the escape of various blood components from within the narrowed artery. Red blood cells flow alongside yellow lipid particles, while pink-hued white blood cells and blue platelets can be seen attempting to break free from their confined space. Such an image serves as a stark reminder that plaques like these are most commonly found in individuals with high cholesterol levels in their bloodstream. The narrowing of arteries depicted here not only increases the risk of dangerous blood clots but is also closely associated with two severe medical conditions: coronary heart disease and stroke. As we delve into this artwork's depth, it becomes evident how crucial it is to prioritize vascular health and combat hyperlipidemia. Science Photo Library has once again masterfully merged artistry with scientific accuracy to create an impactful piece that sheds light on arteriosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD). Through this print, they remind us all about the importance of maintaining healthy arteries for overall well-being and longevity.
