| A detailed 3D medical illustration showing the interior of a blood vessel affected by atherosclerosis. A yellowish cholesterol plaque, or atheroma, adheres to the artery wall, narrowing the passage for blood flow. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leukocytes) are depicted flowing through the restricted space. This scientific visualization effectively demonstrates the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, and the risks associated with high cholesterol, such as heart attack and stroke. It represents a microscopic view of the circulatory system's health. |
