Abstract 9360: Increasing Mass Transfer Flux of Low-Density Lipoproteins-Cholesterol or Apolipoprotein B at the Endothelium of Atherogenic Sites as a Primary Target of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

Computational/Algorithm Study

This study shows that when too many LDL cholesterol particles get stuck in artery walls due to blood flow issues, they cause swelling and damage that leads to heart disease — exactly what the claim says.

When cholesterol particles get damaged by free radicals, they turn into a toxic form that sticks to artery walls, tricks immune cells into eating them until they burst, and causes swelling and inflammation that worsens plaque.
