Abstract

Abstract: Atherosclerosis(AS)is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by an imbalance in lipid metabolism and an adaptive immune response driven by the accumulation of cholesterol-containing macrophages in the arterial wall. In recent years, research on the mechanism of AS mainly includes lipid hypothesis, inflammation hypothesis and so on. This review mainly summarizes the mechanism of AS in recently years and briefly discusses the drug treatment of AS.

Key words: atherosclerosis, lipid, inflammation
