Fig. 1From: Switching of vascular cells towards atherogenesis, and other factors contributing to atherosclerosis: a systematic reviewIllustration of major changes in vasculature responsible for ‘Vascular Switching towards ATHEROGENESIS’. The development of atherosclerosis is a complex multi-step process. This process unfolds in a step by step manner that switches the gene expression towards pro-atherogenic genes. This happens in an interconnected loop of pathological alterations in vasculature that lead to the disease development.Back to article page
