| Summary: | When one looks at atherosclerotic plaques in an artery on the autopsy table, one is viewing a group of lesions that have been present for an unknown length of time and may have bad a multiplicity of causes. Perhaps this white fibrous plaque was initiated fifty years ago and has existed since then. Perhaps it lost lipid during a period of regression. That ulcerated atheroma may have slowly accumulated lipid following a surface thrombosis five years before death. A yellow plaque which could have developed following an intimal injury may have increased in size by short episodes of lipid accumulation associated with haemorrhage into its substance. |
