Overview
Atherosclerosis may be classified according to histological classification into 6 types: Type1,Type2,Type3,Type4,Type5 and Type6.
Classification
Atherosclerosis may be classified according to histological classification into 6 types: Type1,Type2,Type3,Type4,Type5 and Type6.[1]
- TYPE 1:
Adaptive intimal thickening in constant locations since birthday which doesnt obstruct the lumen.
- TYPE 2:
Macrophage foam cells and lipid-laden smooth muscle cells(fatty streaks)
- TYPE 3:
Atheroma,this stage is intermediate phase between type2 and type 4.In this stage we have symptoms. TYPE 4:
The following terms are similar, yet distinct, in both spelling and meaning, and can be easily confused:
Arteriosclerosis is a general term describing any hardening (and loss of elasticity) of medium or large arteries (in Greek, "Arterio" meaning artery and "sclerosis" meaning hardening), arteriolosclerosis is atherosclerosis mainly affecting the arterioles (small arteries), atherosclerosis is a hardening of an artery specifically due to an atheromatous plaque. Therefore, atherosclerosis is a form of arteriosclerosis.
