ABSTRACT
Atherosclerosis is one of the two major causes of mortality worldwide along with cancer and is responsible for myocardial infarction, stroke, and arteritis. Its pathophysiology is still partially understood which allows doubts referring to the preventive and curative treatments. Population screening for atherosclerosis remains marginal even though it should be the common practice. To encourage preventive screening and therapies, we propose a simple and easily understandable pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, explaining how the brick-wall of atheroma is build inside the intima of arteries using a metaphor the LDL-cholesterol bricks, the oxidation cement, and the inflammatory mason.
