Cardiovascular Pathology

Topic: Case-Based — Cardiovascular Pathology & Biomarkers

CARDIOVASCULAR PATHOLOGY

• Pathogenesis (response-to-injury):
• Chronic endothelial injury (HTN, smoking, hyperlipidaemia, hyperglycaemia, turbulent flow at branch points)
• Injured endothelium → permeable to LDL → LDL enters intima, oxidizes
• Oxidized LDL attracts monocytes → become macrophages → engulf lipid → foam cells
• Foam cell accumulation = fatty streak (earliest lesion)
