Atherosclerosis
o Atherosclerosis is a condition in which an artery
wall thickens as a result of the accumulation of fattymaterials such as cholesterol.o It is a syndrome affecting arterial blood vessels.
o There is a chronic inflammatory response in the
walls of arteries, caused largely by the accumulationof macrophage and promoted by low-densitylipoproteins (plasma proteins that carry cholesteroland triglycerides) without adequate removal of fats
and cholesterol from the macrophages by functionalhigh density lipoproteins (HDL),

Pathogenesis
o The earliest visible lesion of atherosclerosis is
the fatty streak, which is due to an accumulationof lipid-laden foam cells in the intimal layer ofthe artery.
o With time, the fatty streak evolves into a fibrous
plaque, the hallmark of establishedatherosclerosis.
o Ultimately the lesion may evolve to contain
large amounts of lipid; if it becomes unstable,denudation of overlying endothelium, or plaquerupture, may result in thrombotic occlusion ofthe overlying artery.

o Atherosclerotic lesions are composed of threemajor components.
1. The first is the cellular component comprisedpredominately of smooth muscle cells andmacrophages.
2. The second component is the connective tissuematrix and extracellular lipid.
3. The third component is intracellular lipid thataccumulates within macrophages, thereby
converting them into foam cells.
-

o Atherosclerotic lesions develop as a result ofinflammatory stimuli, subsequent release of
various cytokines, proliferation of smoothmuscle cells, synthesis of connective tissuematrix, and accumulation of macrophages andlipid.
o The contemporary view of atherogenesis isexpressed by the response-to-injuryhypothesis.
o This model views atherosclerosis as a chronicinflammatory response of the arterial wall toendothelial injury.
-

o Chronic endothelial injury, with resultantendothelial dysfunction, cause increased
permeability, leukocyte adhesion, andthrombosis.

Steps in the formation of atherosclerosis
o Accumulation of lipoproteins (mainly LDL and its
oxidized forms) in the vessel wallo Monocyte adhesion to the endothelium, followed by
migration into the intima and transformation intomacrophages and foam cells, Platelet adhesion
o Factor release from activated platelets,macrophages, and vascular wall cells, inducingSMC recruitment, either from the media or fromcirculating precursors SMC proliferation and ECM
productiono Lipid accumulation both extracellularly and within
cells (macrophages and SMCs)
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
10/74
4/24/12
o The accumulation of lipid-containingmacrophages in the initima gives rise to "fatty
streaks (step 4).o With further evolution, a fibrofatty atheroma
(step 5) consisting of proliferated SMC, foamcells, extracellular lipid, and ECM is formed.
o Several aspects of atherogenesis will now beconsidered in detail.

Endothelial Injury
o Chronic or repetitive endothelial injury is the
cornerstone of the response-to-injury hypothesis.o Endothelial loss due to any kind of injury-
whether induced experimentally by mechanical
denudation, hemodynamic forces, immunecomplex deposition, irradiation, or chemicals-results in intimal thickening; in the presence ofhigh-lipid diets, typical atheromas ensue.
o However, early human lesions begin at sites ofmorphologically intact endothelium.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
12/74
4/24/12
o Thus, non-denuding endothelial dysfunctionunderlies human atherosclerosis; in the setting of
intact but dysfunctional ECs there is increasedendothelial permeability, enhanced leukocyteadhesion, and altered gene expression.
o The specific causes of endothelial dysfunction inearly atherosclerosis are not completelyunderstood.
o Etiologic culprits include toxins from cigarette
smoke, homocysteine, and even infectiousagents.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
13/74
4/24/12
o Inflammatory cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosisfactor, or TNF) can also stimulate the expression
of pro-atherogenic genes in EC.o Nevertheless, the two most important causes of
endothelial dysfunction are hemodynamicdisturbances and hypercholesterolemia.
o Inflammation is also an important contributor.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
14/74
4/24/12
o The importance of hemodynamic turbulence inatherogenesis is illustrated by the observation that
plaques tend to occur at ostia of exiting vessels,
branch points, and along the posterior wall of theabdominal aorta, where there are disturbed flow
patterns.
o In vitro studies further demonstrate that
nonturbulent laminar flow in other parts of thenormal vasculature leads to the induction ofendothelial genes whose products (e.g., theantioxidant superoxide dismutase) actuallyprotect
against atherosclerosis.o Such "atheroprotective" genes could explain the
nonrandom localization of early atheroscleroticlesions.

Lipids
o Lipids are typically transported in the
bloodstream bound to specific apoproteins(forming lipoprotein complexes).
o Dyslipoproteinemias can result from mutationsthat encode defective apoproteins or alter thelipoprotein receptors on cells, or from someother underlying disorder that affects thecirculating levels of lipids (e.g., nephrotic
syndrome, alcoholism, hypothyroidism, ordiabetes mellitus).
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
18/74
4/24/12
o Common lipoprotein abnormalities in thegeneral population (indeed, present in many
survivors of myocardial infarction) include (1)increased LDL cholesterol levels, (2) decreasedHDL cholesterol levels, and (3) increased levelsof the abnormal Lp.
o The evidence implicating hypercholesterolemiain atherogenesis includes the followingobservations:n The dominant lipids in atheromatous plaques are
cholesterol and cholesterol esters.n Genetic defects in lipoprotein uptake and
metabolism that cause hyperlipoproteinemia areassociated with accelerated atherosclerosis.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
19/74
4/24/12
n Thus, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia,caused by defective LDL receptors and inadequate
hepatic LDL uptake, can lead to myocardialinfarction before the age of 20 years.n Similarly, accelerated atherosclerosis occurs in
animal models with engineered deficiencies inapolipoproteins or LDL receptors.
o Other genetic or acquired disorders (e.g.,diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism) that causehypercholesterolemia lead to premature
atherosclerosis.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
20/74
4/24/12
o Epidemiologic studies demonstrate a significantcorrelation between the severity of
atherosclerosis and the levels of total plasmacholesterol or LDL.
o Lowering serum cholesterol by diet or drugsslows the rate of progression of atherosclerosis,
causes regression of some plaques, and reducesthe risk of cardiovascular events.
-

21/74
4/24/12
o The mechanisms by which hyperlipidemiacontributes to atherogenesis include the
following:n Chronic hyperlipidemia, particularly
hypercholesterolemia, can directly impair ECfunction by increasing local production of reactive
oxygen species.n Among other effects, oxygen free radicals
accelerate nitric oxide decay, damping itsvasodilator activity and thereby increasing local
shear stress.n With chronic hyperlipidemia, lipoproteins
accumulate within the intima.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
22/74
4/24/12
o These lipids are oxidizedthrough the action ofoxygen free radicals locally generated by
macrophages or ECs.o Oxidized LDL is ingested by macrophages
through ascavenger receptor, distinct from theLDL receptor, resulting in foam-cell formation.
o In addition, oxidized LDL stimulates the releaseof growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines byECs and macrophages that increase monocyte
recruitment into lesions.o Finally, oxidized LDL is cytotoxic to ECs and
SMCs and can induce EC dysfunction.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
23/74
4/24/12
o The importance of oxidized LDL inatherogenesis is suggested by its accumulation
within macrophages at all stages of plaqueformation.
o Moreover, antioxidant therapy (-carotene andvitamin E) protects against atherosclerosis in
animal models, but it does not appear to beeffective for preventing IHD.
-

24/74
4/24/12
Inflammation
o Inflammatory cells and mediators are involved
in the initiation, progression, and thecomplications of atherosclerotic lesions.o Although normal vessels do not bind
inflammatory cells, early in atherogenesis
dysfunctional arterial ECs express adhesionmolecules that encourage leukocyte adhesion;
o Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) inparticular binds monocytes and T cells.
o After these cells adhere to the endothelium, theymigrate into the intima under the influence oflocally produced chemokines.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
25/74
4/24/12
o Monocytes transform into macrophages andavidly engulf lipoproteins, including oxidized
LDL.o Monocyte recruitment and differentiation into
macrophages (and ultimately into foam cells) istheoretically protective, since these cells remove
potentially harmful lipid particles.o Over time, however, progressive accumulation
of oxidized LDL drives lesion progression.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
26/74
4/24/12
o Thus, macrophage activation (via oxidized LDLor T cells) results in cytokine production (e.g.,
TNF) that further increases leukocyte adhesionand chemokine production that in turn propelmononuclear inflammatory cell recruitment.
o Activated macrophages also produce reactive
oxygen species, aggravating LDL oxidation.o T lymphocytes recruited to the intima interact
with macrophages and can generate a chronic
immune inflammatory state.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
27/74
4/24/12
o Activated T cells in the growing intimal lesionselaborate inflammatory cytokines, (e.g.,
interferon-), which in turn can stimulatemacrophages as well as ECs and SMCs.
o As a consequence of the chronic inflammatorystate, activated leukocytes and vascular wall
cells release growth factors that promote SMCproliferation and ECM synthesis.
-

28/74
4/24/12
Infection Body
o Although there is evidence that infections may drivethe local inflammatory process that results inatherosclerotic plaque, this hypothesis has yet to bedefinitively proven.
o Herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus, and Chlamydiapneumoniae have all been detected inatherosclerotic plaque but not in normal arteries,and seroepidemiologic studies find increasedantibody titers to C. pneumoniae in patients withmore severe atherosclerosis.
o However, a causal link between any of theseinfections and the development or progression ofatherosclerosis remains to be established.
-

4/24/12
Smooth Muscle Proliferation
o Intimal SMC proliferation and ECM deposition
convert a fatty streak into a mature atheroma andcontribute to the progressive growth ofatherosclerotic lesions.
o The intimal SMCs have a proliferative andsynthetic phenotype distinct from the underlyingmedial SMCs and, in fact, may substantiallyderive from the recruitment of circulating
precursors.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
30/74
4/24/12
o Several growth factors are implicated in SMCproliferation and ECM synthesis, including
platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF, releasedby locally adherent platelets as well as bymacrophages, ECs, and SMCs), fibroblastgrowth factor, and transforming growth factor .
The recruited SMCs synthesize ECM (notablycollagen), which stabilizes atheroscleroticplaques.
o However, activated inflammatory cells inatheromas can cause intimal SMC apoptosis, andthey also increase ECM catabolism, resulting inunstable plaques.

Morphology
o Fatty Streaks. Fatty streaks are composed of
lipid-filled foam cells but are not significantlyraised and thus do not cause any disturbance inblood flow.
o They begin as multiple minute yellow, flat spotsthat can coalesce into elongated streaks, 1 cmlong or longer.
o Fatty streaks can appear in the aortas of infants
younger than 1 year and are present in virtuallyall children older than 10 years, regardless ofgeography, race, sex, or environment.

o Coronary fatty streaks begin to form inadolescence, at the same anatomic sites that later
tend to develop plaques.o The relationship of fatty streaks to
atherosclerotic plaques is uncertain; althoughthey may evolve into precursors of plaques, not
all fatty streaks are destined to become advancedatherosclerotic lesions.

o Atheromatous plaques (also called fibrous orfibrofatty plaques) impinge on the lumen of the
artery and grossly appear white to yellow;thrombosis superimposed over the surface ofulcerated plaques is red-brown in color.
o Plaques vary from 0.3 to 1.5 cm in diameter but
can coalesce to form larger masses (Fig. 10-9).o Atherosclerotic lesions are patchy, usually
involving only a portion of any given arterial
wall.

o On cross-section, the lesions therefore appear"eccentric".
o
The focality of atherosclerotic lesions-despite theuniform exposure of vessel walls to such factors ascigarette smoke toxins, elevated LDL, andhyperglycemia-is almost certainly due to the
vagaries of vascular hemodynamics.o Local flow disturbances, such as turbulence at
branch points, leads to certain portions of a vesselwall being more susceptible to plaque formation.
o Although focal and sparsely distributed at first,atherosclerotic lesions become more numerous andmore diffuse with time.

o In humans, the abdominal aorta is typicallymuch more frequently involved than the thoracic
aorta.o In descending order, the most extensively
involved vessels are the lower abdominal aorta,the coronary arteries, the popliteal arteries, the
internal carotid arteries, and the vessels of thecircle of Willis.
o Vessels of the upper extremities are usually
spared, as are the mesenteric and renal arteries,except at their ostia.
-

o Nevertheless, in an individual case, the severityof atherosclerosis in one artery does not predict
its severity in another.o Moreover, in any given vessel, lesions at various
stages often coexist.
-

o Atherosclerotic plaques have three principalcomponents:
1. Cells, including smcs, macrophages, and T cells;2. ECM, including collagen, elastic fibers, and
proteoglycans; and
3. Intracellular and extracellular lipid.
o These components occur in varying proportionsand configurations in different lesions.
o Typically, the superficial fibrous cap iscomposed of SMCs and relatively densecollagen.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
45/74
4/24/12
o Beneath and to the side of the cap (the"shoulder") is a more cellular area containingmacrophages, T cells, and SMCs.
o Deep to the fibrous cap is a necrotic core,containing lipid (primarily cholesterol andcholesterol esters), debris from dead cells, foam
cells (lipid-laden macrophages and SMCs),fibrin, variably organized thrombus, and otherplasma proteins;
o The cholesterol content is frequently present as
crystalline aggregates that are washed out duringroutine tissue processing and leave behind onlyempty "clefts."
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
46/74
4/24/12
o At the periphery of the lesions, there is usuallyneovascularization (proliferating small bloodvessels).
o Typical atheromas contain relatively abundant lipid,but some plaques ("fibrous plaques") are composedalmost exclusively of SMCs and fibrous tissue.
o Plaques generally continue to change andprogressively enlarge through cell death anddegeneration, synthesis and degradation(remodeling) of ECM, and organization of thrombi.
o Moreover, atheromas often undergo calcification.
o Patients with advanced coronary calcificationappear to be at increased risk for coronary events.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
47/74
4/24/12
Atherosclerotic plaques are susceptible to thefollowing pathologic changes with clinical
significance:o Rupture, ulceration, or erosion of the luminal
surface of atheromatous plaques exposes thebloodstream to highly thrombogenic substances
and induces thrombus formation.o Such thrombi can partially or completely
occlude the lumen and lead to downstream
ischemia.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
48/74
4/24/12
o If the patient survives the initial vascularocclusion, thrombi may become organized and
incorporated into the growing plaque.o Hemorrhage into a plaque. Rupture of the
overlying fibrous cap or of the thin-walledvessels in the areas of neovascularization can
cause intra-plaque hemorrhage; a containedhematoma may expand the plaque or induceplaque rupture.
o
Atheroembolism. Plaque rupture can dischargedebris into the bloodstream, producingmicroemboli composed of plaque contents.
-

4/24/12
o Aneurysm formation. Atherosclerosis-inducedpressure or ischemic atrophy of the underlying
media, with loss of elastic tissue, causesweakness of the vessel wall and development ofaneurysms that may rupture.

Natural History of Atherosclerosis
o The natural history, morphologic features, and
main pathogenic events of atherosclerosis aresummarised as below.
o It primarily affects elastic arteries (e.g., aorta,carotid, and iliac arteries) and large andmedium-sized muscular arteries (e.g., coronaryand popliteal arteries).
o In small arteries, atheromas can gradually
occlude lumina, compromising blood flow todistal organs and cause ischemic injury.
o "clinical horizon";
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
51/74
4/24/12
o Atherosclerotic plaques can undergo acutedisruption and precipitate thrombi that further
obstruct blood flow.o In large arteries, plaques are destructive,
encroaching on the subjacent media andweakening the affected vessel wall, causing
aneurysms that can rupture.o Moreover, atheromas can be friable, fragmenting
atheroemboli into downstream circulations.
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
52/74
4/24/12
o Atherosclerosis is a slowly evolving lesionusually requiring many decades to become
significant.o However, acute plaque changes (e.g., rupture,
thrombosis, or hematoma formation) can rapidlyprecipitate clinical sequelae called clinical
horizon.o Symptomatic atherosclerotic disease most often
involves the arteries supplying the heart, brain,
kidneys, and lower extremities.

Major consequences of atherosclerosis
o Myocardial infarction (heart attack),o cerebral infarction (stroke),o aortic aneurysms, and peripheral vascular
disease (gangrene of the legs) are the majorconsequences of atherosclerosis.
o Atherosclerosis also takes a toll through otherconsequences of acutely or chronicallydiminished arterial perfusion, such as
n mesenteric occlusion,n sudden cardiac death,n chronic IHD, and ischemic encephalopathy.

Prevention of Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease
o Prevention include;n Primary prevention programs aimed at either
delaying atheroma formation or encouragingregression of established lesions in persons whohave not yet suffered a serious complication of
atherosclerosis.n It involves risk factor identification and
modification of those that are amenable tointervention such as cessation of cigarette smoking,control of hypertension, weight loss, exercise, andlowering total and LDL blood cholesterol levelswhile increasing HDL (e.g., by diet or throughstatins).
-
8/2/2019 Lesson 2 - Atheroscrerosis
56/74
4/24/12
n Secondary prevention programs intended toprevent recurrence of events such as myocardialinfarction or stroke in symptomatic patients.
n It involves the use of aspirin (anti-platelet agent),statins, and beta blockers (to limit cardiac demand),as well as surgical interventions (e.g., coronaryartery bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy).
These can successfully reduce recurrent myocardialor cerebral events.
