Atlas of Atherosclerosis Progression and Regression, Second Edition (Encyclopedia of Visual Medicine Series)

0.0

This book illustrates the successive steps in the natural history of human atherosclerotic disease from the microscopically visible, lipid-filled macrophages in susceptible locations of arteries to lesion forms that produce clinical symptoms. The book clarifies disputed issues such as the morphological features already present in the arteries of children and their relationship, if any, to later symptom-producing lesions. The illustrations allow readers to compare and contrast healthy arteries with those developing and regressing lesions. In addition to light and electron micrographs, there are photographs of opened arteries to reveal atherosclerotic lesions as seen with unaided eye.
