Blocked artery, computer artwork

Blocked artery. Computer artwork of a clot of blood cells (thrombus, red) in an artery affected by atherosclerosis. This is a narrowing of an artery due to fatty deposits (yellow) on its inner walls. The deposits are made of atheroma, a substance comprising cholesterol, decaying cells, blood cells and fatty proteins. Narrowing of blood vessels raises blood pressure, which puts strain on the heart. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of heart attacks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork captures the intricate details of a blocked artery, showcasing the detrimental effects of atherosclerosis. The image reveals a clot of blood cells, known as a thrombus, lodged within an artery that has been affected by this condition. Atherosclerosis occurs when fatty deposits, depicted in yellow hues, accumulate on the inner walls of an artery. These deposits consist of atheroma—a substance composed of cholesterol, decaying cells, blood cells, and fatty proteins. The narrowing of blood vessels caused by these deposits leads to increased blood pressure and places strain on the heart. As such, atherosclerosis is recognized as the primary cause behind heart attacks. This thought-provoking illustration emphasizes how this disease disrupts normal circulation within our bodies. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork serves as both an educational tool for medical professionals and an eye-opening visual for individuals seeking to understand arterial health better. It highlights the unhealthy consequences associated with narrowed arteries due to plaque formation—an abnormality that can lead to hardened arteries or vascular stenosis. Science Photo Library's expertise in capturing medically accurate visuals shines through in this print—offering viewers valuable insights into arteriosclerotic vascular diseases (ASVD) while reminding us all about the importance of maintaining cardiovascular wellness.
