摘要：

Atherosclerosis is a very complex disease and while research about its aetiology and development advances, it is more difficult to understand its pathology. Because of this atherosclerosis is not easy to define. Old and even new definitions are incomplete. Most of them do not take into consideration the endothelium on both sides, and some risk factors such as high blood pressure are ignored. Here we present a proposal for a redefinition of atherosclerosis and look forward to having a better understanding about the why and how of this lethal disease.
