Light microscope through a human artery showing evidence of atherosclerotic calcification. The main features of atherosclerosis are endothelial dysfunction, intimal thickening, inflammation and vascular calcification (VC). These processes are considered a consequence to vascular injury. Vascular calcification is characterised by calcium deposition in the walls of the vasculature. | |
