Fine Art Print : Atherosclerosis
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis. Artwork of a human heart showing narrowing of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis, a build up of fatty deposits (atheroma, yellow) on the artery wall. The large red vessel is the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart to the body. Two coronary arteries arise from the aorta and supply the heart muscle with oxygen. The left coronary artery (on the right) divides into the anterior descending and circumflex branches. Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of death in developed countries. The narrowing causes abnormal clotting, which blocks the vessel and starves the hearts muscle of blood, causing a heart attack

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of atherosclerosis, a condition that affects the human heart. The artwork vividly portrays the narrowing of coronary arteries caused by the build-up of fatty deposits known as atheroma. These yellow plaques can be seen clinging to the artery walls, obstructing blood flow and posing a significant risk to cardiovascular health. The central focus of this image is on the large red vessel, which represents the vital aorta responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of our body. From this main artery emerge two smaller branches known as coronary arteries, crucial in supplying oxygen to our heart muscles. Coronary artery disease, often stemming from atherosclerosis, stands as one of the leading causes of mortality in developed nations. The narrowing depicted here not only restricts blood flow but also triggers abnormal clotting within these vessels. This dangerous combination ultimately leads to an insufficient supply of blood reaching the heart muscle and can result in devastating consequences such as heart attacks. Through its detailed illustration and medical accuracy, this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a reminder about maintaining optimal cardiac health. It highlights how plaque formation within arteries can lead to life-threatening conditions while emphasizing why preventive measures are essential in combating arteriosclerotic vascular diseases like atherosclerosis.
