Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Atherosclerosis is a chronic lipid-driven inflammatory disease and one of the leading underlying causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Western society. Macrophages are key players in atherosclerotic development. Although the cellular composition of carotid atherosclerotic lesions has been determined, macrophage population definitions lack granularity and lineage data. Moreover, to date no direct link has been established between cellular content of atherosclerotic lesions and secondary clinical outcome. This study is aimed at characterization of atherosclerot
