Atherosclerosis, 3D CT scan C016 / 6539
Atherosclerosis. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the heart of a 69 year old patient that has had an aortic heart valve replacement. The aortic arch and descending aorta are narrowed due to atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty plaques (atheroma). The aorta is the bodys main artery. It carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 3D CT scan of atherosclerosis, providing an intricate view of the heart's blood vessels. The image focuses on a 69-year-old patient who has undergone an aortic heart valve replacement, revealing the impact of this condition on their cardiovascular system. Colored in vivid detail, the scan exhibits how atherosclerosis has caused narrowing in both the aortic arch and descending aorta. Atherosclerosis is characterized by the accumulation of fatty plaques known as atheroma within arterial walls. These plaques gradually build up over time, obstructing blood flow and posing significant health risks. The significance of this image lies not only in its diagnostic value but also in its portrayal of human anatomy affected by disease. It serves as an educational tool for medical professionals and researchers studying arteriosclerotic vascular diseases (ASVD) while shedding light on one individual's struggle with this disorder. By visualizing such abnormalities within our vital organs like the heart, we gain valuable insights into how lifestyle choices and age can impact our overall well-being. This composite image offers viewers an opportunity to understand the complexities of vascular health while emphasizing the importance of early detection and prevention strategies. Captured by ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this remarkable photograph exemplifies their commitment to showcasing scientific advancements through visually stunning imagery that sparks curiosity and fosters understanding.
