WHAT DOES ATHEROMATOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

atheromatous

Atheroma

An atheroma is an accumulation of degenerative material in the tunica intima of artery walls. The material consists of macrophage cells, or debris, containing lipids, calcium and a variable amount of fibrous connective tissue. The accumulated material forms a swelling in the artery wall, which may intrude into the channel of the artery, narrowing it and restricting blood flow. Atheroma occurs in atherosclerosis, which is one of the three subtypes of arteriosclerosis. In the context of heart or artery matters, atheromata are commonly referred to as atheromatous plaques. It is an unhealthy condition, but is found in most humans. Veins do not develop atheromata, unless surgically moved to function as an artery, as in bypass surgery. The accumulation is always in the tunica intima, between the endothelium lining and the smooth muscle tunica media of the artery wall. While the early stages, based on gross appearance, have traditionally been termed fatty streaks by pathologists, they are not composed of fat cells, i.e. adipose cells, but of accumulations of white blood cells, especially macrophages, that have taken up oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
