Artwork of heart attack due to atherosclerosis
Heart attack. Artwork of a human heart during a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Here, an embolus (red, in the sectioned artery at lower right)

Bone death, X-ray
Bone death. Coloured X-ray of the shaft of a human long bone showing tissue death (osteonecrosis, brown). This may be caused by a blood clot or embolus that interrupts the blood supply

Embolism. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a blockage, or embolism, in a blood vessel. Embolisms, particularly when they occur in vital organs such as the lungs (pulmonary embolism)

Coloured angiogram of embolus blocking arm artery

Illustration of blood cells & fibrin in a thrombus
Thrombus. Illustration of a thrombus, an abnormal blood clot formed inside a vein or artery. Red blood cells appear trapped inside a network of fibres of the insoluble protein fibrin

Detached blood clot, artwork
Detached blood clot. Computer artwork of an embolus (detached blood clot) in a blood vessel. The erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the clot are held together by the protein fibrin (yellow lines)

"Emboli: Silent Intruders on a Deadly Pathway" Embolus, a term that strikes fear in the hearts of medical professionals and patients alike. It refers to a dangerous entity that can wreak havoc within our bodies, causing life-threatening conditions such as pulmonary embolism or acute coronary syndrome. In the intricate network of blood vessels, an they are travel through arteries, seeking its destination. Imagine the heart's arteries burdened with atherosclerotic plaque, obstructing the smooth flow of oxygen-rich blood. This scenario sets the stage for disaster - microvascular obstruction leading to acute coronary syndrome. Delving deeper into this cardiovascular labyrinth, we witness an interior view of the heart. The muscle cells pulsate rhythmically while adjacent lies an artery plagued by atherosclerosis - a grim reminder of how our lifestyle choices impact our health. But it doesn't end there; veins are not immune to embolic threats either. A thrombus forms on a valve within one such vein, posing risks beyond imagination. Meanwhile, normal arteries stand side by side with their diseased counterparts - showcasing stark differences between healthy circulation and plaque-ridden vessels prone to thrombus formation. Pulmonary embolism takes center stage once again as we trace the pathway of an embolus from its origin towards the lungs and heart. The consequences can be dire if left untreated - breathlessness, chest pain, even death lurk around every corner. Shifting gears slightly but remaining within this realm of vascular chaos is another devastating condition: brain stroke. An artwork captures this momentous event in all its terrifying glory – F008 / 0227 etched forever in memory as both doctors and patients strive to prevent such catastrophic occurrences. And let us not forget about our precious hearts; they too fall victim to embolic assaults caused by relentless progression of atherosclerosis. Artwork depicting heart attacks due to this insidious disease serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for prevention and intervention.
