Explain of Cardiovascular Pathology

20.Coronary artery, mild atherosclerosis, gross

A coronary artery has been opened longitudinally. The coronary extends from left to right across the middle of the picture and is surrounded by epicardial fat. Increased epicardial fat correlates with increasing total body fat. There is a lot of fat here, suggesting one risk factor for atherosclerosis. This coronary shows only mild atherosclerosis, with only an occasional yellow-tan lipid plaque and no narrowing.
