Cerebrovascular disease 
Pathophysiology
-
Hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension and cigarette smoking are the common risk factors for atherosclerosis
These risk factors unite behind a convergence of mechanism, involving oxidation and inflammation in the artery wall that, with time, gives rise to characteristic fatty-fibrous lesions
Physical trauma and inflammation produce lesion rupture, which can lead to clinical events such as heart attack and stroke, or resolve with plaque growth
-
Early indicators of heart attack are the inflammatory marker CD40, and the cardiac myofilament protein troponin
-
