Atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive disease in which the plaques starts building in the walls of artery. These plaques are the deposition of the cholesterol and other lipids, calcium and inflammatory cells known as macrophages.
Once these substances starts depositing in the artery it can lead to thrombus formation which is not cured by itself.
The Atherosclerosis is the predisposes to the thrombus formation which can cause myocardial ischemia.
Myocardial ischemia is a condition that takes place blood flow to the heart is obstructed or blocked by a partial or complete blockage due to the buildup of atherosclerosis.
The process that is a factor in myocardial ischemia, in which some of the platelets binds to while others are separated and move from the developing thrombus which turbulence, flow, in the circulation of blood greatly affect the formation of a clot, known as thrombus formation.
