A schematic cross-section of an artery shows an atherosclerotic plaque narrowing the vascular lumen. The lesion resides in the tunica intima beneath a fibrous cap and contains lipid-rich deposits and foam cells, compressing the media and adventitia. In the hierarchy, it is a tissue-level pathology within the arterial wall of the cardiovascular system. In pathology and vascular biology, this plaque impairs blood flow and predisposes to ischemia, thrombosis, and vessel remodeling.
