The cause and mechanism of atherosclerosis requires revision

A thorough investigation of the causes of atherosclerosis in humans has been conducted. Additionally, experimental and scientific data on the causes of atherosclerosis from published articles on the Internet were investigated. Participated in several medical conferences, and there are several published articles in Russian and English. I have concluded that the primary cause of atherosclerosis is periodic leakage of arterial blood into the venous bed. This leads to a drop in tissue pressure in the stretched muscle layer of the arteries. Endothelial dysfunctions occur, then LDL is sucked into the endothelial crevices (i.e., LDL infiltration). Over time, damaged endothelium and intima lead to tissue inflammation. First of all, infiltration occurs in the area of arterial bifurcations. Why there? Bifurcation zones are the zones with the lowest "hydraulic strength". Further plaques can occur in other places of the arteries.

Ermoshkin Vladimir Ivanovich was born on February 13, 1948. In 1978, he graduated from the Physics Department of Moscow State University. He worked as a physicist in several institutions. Then he worked at RosNOU as a research physicist. He published about 15 medical articles in Russian in 2015-2025. There are about 5 articles in English in the same years.
