Atherosclerosis
. The
1 cells
process
: endothelium in the
coronary artery can become damaged
due to high blood pressure and toxins from smoking
. This

inflammatory response
.
White blood cells move into the

artery wall . also builds up
making a
fatty desposit
,
called an atteroma .
. Calcium
3 salts and
fibrous tissue build up resulting in a hand
swelling called an atherosclerotic plaque
.
The
calcification and fibrous
tissue results in the loss of elasticity in the wall .
