| 11. | Angiography, since the 1960s, has been the traditional way of evaluating for atheroma.

| 12. | Coleman died in 1973, at the age of 44, of sudden coronary atheroma.
|
| 13. | Willmott died of atheroma and embolus of the coronary artery in 1934, aged 76.
|
| 14. | If the enlargement is beyond proportion to the atheroma thickness, then an aneurysm is created.
|
| 15. | Angiography does not visualize atheroma; it only makes the blood flow within blood vessels visible.
|
| 16. | The cholesterol thus esterified with abnormal fatty acids is less easily eliminated and so leads to atheroma.
|
| 17. | Foam cells form the fatty streaks of the plaques of atheroma in the tunica intima of arteries.
|
| 18. | The older methods for understanding atheroma, dating to before World War II, relied on autopsy data.
|
| 19. | Typically, such regions start occurring within the heart arteries about 2 3 decades after atheroma start developing.
|
| 20. | Recombinant apo A1 Milano dimers formulated into liposomes can reduce atheromas in animal models by up to 30 %.
