Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a disorder that affects both heart and blood vessels. It is caused by atherosclerosis, a chronic, low-grade inflammatory disease, which is characterized by the accumulation of lipids in the arterial wall. Modified lipoproteins contain pro-inflammatory epitopes, such as phosphorylcholine (PC), that interact with inflammatory cells in the vascular wall, thereby accelerating the development of atherosclerotic lesions. The main cause of myocardial infarction (MI) arises from a rupture of an unstable, inflamed atherosclerotic lesion in the coronary artery. The MI induces an intense inflammatory response that is essential for myocardial repair and scar formation, but which is also implicated in th...
