  2. Endothelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelium

    A further consequence of damage to the endothelium is the release of pathological quantities of von Willebrand factor, which promote platelet aggregation and adhesion to the subendothelium, and thus the formation of potentially fatal thrombi. Angiosarcoma is cancer of the endothelium and is rare with only 300 cases per year in the US. [29]

  3. Endothelial dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelial_dysfunction

    In vascular diseases, endothelial dysfunction is a systemic pathological state of the endothelium. The main cause of endothelial dysfunction is impaired bioavailability of nitric oxide . [ 1 ]

  4. Chronic endothelial injury hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_endothelial_injury...

    The chronic endothelial injury hypothesis is one of two major mechanisms postulated to explain the underlying cause of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD), the other being the lipid hypothesis. Although an ongoing debate involving connection between dietary lipids and CHD sometimes portrays the two hypotheses as being opposed, they ...

  6. Atherosclerosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherosclerosis

    Because of the infusion of lipids into the sub-endothelium, the repair has to end up with altered remodeling of the local endothelium. This is the manifestation of a misrepair. This altered remodeling increases the susceptibility of the local endothelium to damage and reduces its repair efficiency.

    Pattern I, for intermediate, indicates that most LDL particles are very close in size to the normal gaps in the endothelium (26 nm). According to one study, sizes 19.0–20.5 nm were designated as pattern B and LDL sizes 20.6–22 nm were designated as pattern A. [ 16 ] Other studies have shown no such correlation at all.

    It can cause vision problems, drooping eyelids, and difficulty walking, talking, chewing tough food, and even limit your ability to lift your arms above their head.

  9. Hemolytic–uremic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic–uremic_syndrome

    This results in platelet activation, endothelial cell damage, and white blood cell activation, leading to systemic TMA, which manifests as decreased platelet count, hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells), damage to multiple organs, and ultimately death.
