Understanding Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) - Overview and Management

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) refers to the narrowing of blood vessels outside the heart and brain, leading to reduced blood flow. This condition can result from atherosclerosis, inflammation, embolism, or thrombus formation. Learn about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment strategies

Understanding Dyslipidemia and Lipid Transport in Atherosclerosis

Dyslipidemia is characterized by abnormal levels of lipids in the blood, leading to atherosclerosis. Lipid transport mechanisms play a crucial role in the formation and progression of atheromas in artery walls. Chylomicrons carry fats from the intestine to the liver, where they are processed into LD

Understanding Atherosclerosis and Peripheral Artery Diseases

Atherosclerosis is a progressive process triggered by an inflammatory response, often aggravated by hypertension. Conditions like claudication and critical limb ischemia are indications of inadequate blood flow, posing risks of rest pain and ischemic ulcers. Recognizing symptoms like pain, numbness,
