A schematic cross-section of an artery shows disruption of the endothelial lining and a torn fibrous cap over an atherosclerotic plaque, exposing the lipid-rich necrotic core to the arterial lumen. In cardiovascular pathology and anatomy, this lesion occurs within the intima of the arterial wall, a tissue component of the vascular system. The event promotes platelet adhesion and thrombus formation, threatening acute vessel occlusion such as myocardial infarction. Visible elements include endothelium, fibrous cap, lumen, and underlying plaque.
