High blood cholesterol

High blood cholesterol. Artwork of hypercholester- olaemia or hyperlipidaemia, high levels of the lipid cholesterol in the blood. Low-density lipo- proteins (LDLs, large yellow spheres, centre left) transport cholesterol (tiny yellow spheres inside LDL) around the blood. Cholesterol is a major part of the deposits of atheroma (yellow) that line the walls of the arteries (one at centre right) in atherosclerosis, restricting blood supply. This may lead to a heart attack or stroke. Fat may also be deposited around the edge of the cornea of the eye (lower left) as a whitish ring called an arcus senilis. A blood sample is being taken for analysis through a syringe needle (upper centre)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the detrimental effects of high blood cholesterol on the human body. The image showcases a detailed illustration of hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemia, characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream. At the center left, we see large yellow spheres representing low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), which transport tiny yellow cholesterol spheres throughout the blood. These LDLs play a crucial role in distributing cholesterol but can also contribute to health issues when present in excessive amounts. The yellow deposits surrounding an artery at center right depict atheroma, which is formed due to atherosclerosis. This condition restricts blood supply and increases the risk of heart attacks or strokes. Additionally, fat accumulation around the cornea's edge forms an arcus senilis, visible as a whitish ring in the lower left corner. In this thought-provoking composition, medical professionals are shown taking a blood sample for analysis through a syringe needle positioned at upper center. This diagnostic procedure allows for further examination and monitoring of lipid levels within patients' bodies. Overall, this visually striking print serves as both educational material and artistic representation of how high blood cholesterol can lead to various health complications. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy lipid profiles and seeking appropriate medical care to prevent such conditions from arising or worsening.
