关注致动脉粥样硬化的非传统危险因素

Focus on Non-traditional Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis

动脉硬化是指动脉管壁的增厚、变硬和弹性减低。动脉粥样硬化是动脉硬化的特定类型,指动脉管壁由于钙和脂肪物质在管壁堆积而变厚。尽管对动脉粥样硬化的发病机制至今尚未完全明了,但有较明确的原因即动脉粥样硬化的危险因素,包括传统和非传统危险因素,我们对传统危险因素已逐步认识。随着对血管危险因素的再认识,非传统危险因素开始被关注,这将对血管早期风险评价提供依据。现就非传统危险因素对动脉粥样硬化性血管病变的影响进行阐述。

Arteriosclerosis is the thickening,hardening and loss of elasticity of the walls of arteries. Atherosclerosis is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery wall thickens as a result of the accumulation of calcium and fatty materials. Although pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has not yet been fully clear,there are specific risk factors of atherosclerosis including traditional and non-traditional risk factors.We have understood the traditional risk factors. Non-traditional risk factors began to be paid close attention with further understanding of vascular risk factors. This will provide the basis for early monitoring risks of vascular tree and this review explores the current status of non-traditional vascular risk factors and vascular diseases.
