We compared patients with SSc to healthy controls for. Atherosclerosis is the build-up of fatty material atheroma inside your arteries. Gaining knowledge about the origin of these phenotypic expressions of atherosclerosis in the human body may lead to a better understanding of the cerebrovascular consequences of.

Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease thus absence of plaque in one territory does not equate to absence of plaque in another 7 8. In systemic sclerosis SSc microvascular abnormalities are well recognized. The development of atherosclerosis in systemic inflammatory diseases is likely accelerated by systemic chronic inflammation. Atherosclerosis is a chronic and progressive inflammatory disease which starts early in life and whose natural history is characterized by a long subclinical phase. Disturbances of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism diabetes and hypertension thrombosis and inflammation. Gaining knowledge about the origin of these phenotypic expressions of atherosclerosis in the human body may lead to a better understanding of the cerebrovascular consequences of.
