An injury to the endothelium of vascular intima triggers the inflammatory process--- cause vasodilation and increased permeability 2. Increased permeability allows infiltration of immune cells such as macrophages and circulating LDLs: become modified by oxidation and oxidized LDLs trigger macrophage phagocytosis 3. Fat-Ladened macrophages (Foam cells) secrete inflammatory mediators and growth factors: - Inflammatory mediators recruit more immune cells to the injured site - Growth factors increase division and migration of smooth muscle cells 4. - Smooth muscle cells produce collagen fibers that form the fibrous cap - macrophages, foam cells, necrotic tissue with released cholesterol form the lipid rich necrotic core. What is Non-modifiable risk factors of atherosclerosis? a. Advanced age
