Atherosclerosis, a disease with a multifactorial aetiology, is characterised by the accumulation and hardening of fatty materials in the arterial blood vessels that may cause obstruction (stenosis) of the lumen. Today, it is one of the most common diseases of the developed countries, and every year thousands of people die of the complications associated with atherosclerosis (Herrington et al., 2016). Indeed, the severe consequences include myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke (cerebrovascular accident or CVA) and chronic kidney failure (Yusuf & McKee, 2014).

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a disease with a multifactorial aetiology, is characterised by the accumulation and hardening of fatty materials in the arterial blood vessels that may cause obstruction (stenosis) of the lumen. Today, it is one of the most common diseases of the developed countries, and every year thousands of people die of the complications associated with atherosclerosis (Herrington et al., 2016). Indeed, the severe consequences include myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke (cerebrovascular accident or CVA) and chronic kidney failure (Yusuf & McKee, 2014).File in questo prodotto:
