A schematic longitudinal section of an artery shows atherosclerotic plaque rupture with superimposed intraluminal thrombus. The pathological lesion resides in the tunica intima of a medium-to-large artery within the cardiovascular system, narrowing the lumen. A disrupted fibrous cap exposes a lipid-rich necrotic core (yellow), provoking platelet activation and clot formation (red) and acute atherothrombosis. This relates to vascular pathology and cardiology/physiology and is used to explain mechanisms leading to acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and other arterial ischemic events. The depicted entity is an anatomical structure with disease.
