Vascular Pathology conditions
Arteriolosclerosis (Hyaline Type)Arteriolosclerosis hyaline type involves thickening of small artery walls due to plasma protein leakage, commonly linked to hypertension and diabetes mellitus.Arteriolosclerosis (Hyperplastic Type)Arteriolosclerosis hyperplastic type involves thickening of arteriolar walls with onion-skin layering, often caused by severe hypertension leading to vessel narrowing and ischemia.AtherosclerosisAtherosclerosis is a chronic condition involving plaque buildup in arterial walls, leading to narrowed arteries and increased risk of heart attack and stroke.Cholesterol Emboli SyndromeCholesterol Emboli Syndrome involves small artery occlusion by cholesterol crystals from atherosclerotic plaques, causing skin lesions, renal failure, and systemic inflammation.Subclavian Steal SyndromeSubclavian Steal Syndrome causes reversed vertebral artery flow due to proximal subclavian artery stenosis, leading to arm ischemia and neurological symptoms.
