Dietary Fat Intake: Promotion of Disease in Carotid Artery Disease: Lipid Lowering Versus Side Effects of Statins

Carotid artery disease is the outcome of elevated blood lipids and “cardiovascular incapability” to detect initial stages of atherosclerosis such as integration of endothelial dysfunction, smooth muscle cell dysfunction, and metabolic abnormality of the carotid artery wall. Initially, dyslipidemia is developed to cause elevated blood lipids due to lipid disorder. Later it leads to the “cardiovascular incapability” common in atherosclerosis, systemic inflammatory disorders, and vascular atrophy.
