ASCVD [1]
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), a type of cardiovascular disease, that is caused by dyslipidaemia and the accumulation of lipoproteins within the arterial wall, leading to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques grow due to continued accumulation of lipoproteins and the proliferation of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue. All these factors contribute to narrowing of the arteries, with subsequent plaque rupture and thrombosis.8
