Hypertension and atherosclerosis are risk factors for both atherosclerotic plaques and thromboembolism. In thrombotic stroke, a thrombus (blood clot) usually forms around atherosclerotic plaques. The distribution of atherosclerotic plaques in a part of arterial endothelium is inhomogeneous. It can be caused by embolism, thrombosis of an atherosclerotic artery, or trauma. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was a contributing factor. The actions of macrophages drive atherosclerotic plaque progression. Due to this obstruction there are thrombotic complications at the sites of atherosclerotic plaques. Despite hyperlipidemia, atherosclerotic complications are uncommon. The official cause of death was atherosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease. The procedure may lead to cholesterol embolism from atherosclerotic plaques. Apart from thromboembolism, chronically expanding atherosclerotic lesions can cause complete closure of the lumen. An autopsy revealed Warrior died of a heart attack caused by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The cause of death was determined to be atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. When associated with ipsilateral atherosclerotic stenosis, however, ticagrelor was found to be superior to aspirin. T-cadherin expression is upregulated in ECs, pericytes and VSMC of atherosclerotic lesions.
