Inflammation and Atherosclerosis [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2006 The aim of this article is to discuss the role of inflammation in atherosclerosis.An initial chemical, mechanical or immunological insult induces endothelial dysfunction. This triggers a cascade of inflammatory reactions, in which monocytes, macrophages, T lymphocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells participate. Leukocyte adhesion molecules, cytokines,
