Etiology of Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a complex disease which may start in childhood. The exact cause is not known. Atherosclerosis is triggered when some risk factors like smoking, hypertension, diabetes and high content of fats in blood damage the endothelium of arteries.
When artery gets damaged blood cells and other cellular components build up and lead to the formation of plaque.This formed plaque narrows the arteries and reduce the blood supply to the organs.
Causes may be smoking,high triglyceride content and inflammatory diseases such as lupus,arthtritis.
