Definition of atheroma in English:

atheroma

noun ˌaθəˈrəʊməˌaTHəˈrōmə

mass nounMedicine

1Degeneration of the walls of the arteries caused by accumulated fatty deposits and scar tissue, and leading to restriction of the circulation and a risk of thrombosis.
〔医〕动脉粥样化。参见ATHEROSCLEROSIS
See also atherosclerosis
Example sentencesExamples
- If the ultrasound shows stenosis or atheroma, the patient should understand the risks and benefits of the procedure.
- Cholesterol embolisation occurs in patients with generalised atheroma, arising as a consequence of arteriosclerosis.
- During the warmer seasons, there was a decline in the number of strokes resulting from atheroma.
- The early lesions of calcific degenerative disease resemble atheroma of the coronary artery.
- As the lesion grows, a fibrous cap made of collagen and elastin walls off the lesion from the lumen of the artery to protect the arterial lumen from the atheroma.
- For subjects who were 45-69 yr of age, Crawford and Crawford reported no difference in the prevalence of extensive atheroma or significant stenosis between residents of hard-water and soft-water areas.
- The aorta showed severe complicated atheroma throughout its length.
1. 1.1 The fatty material which forms deposits in the arteries.
  （造成动脉粥样化的）脂肪物质；粉瘤
  Example sentencesExamples
  Ultrasound devices provide reliable measurements of lumen size, distensibility, wall thickness, and the presence of atheroma in large arteries.
  Angina happens when the coronary arteries get blocked up with small pieces of fatty material called atheroma.

Derivatives

atheromatous

adjective

Medicine

Additionally, care must be taken when dissecting the carotid vessels to avoid disturbing the atheromatous lesions causing fragmentation and subsequent embolization and stroke.
Example sentencesExamples
- Acute coronary events occur as a result of rupture of an unstable atheromatous plaque.
- This is often induced by physical exertion, and the commonest aetiology is atheromatous coronary artery disease.
- Inflammatory processes are believed to play a role in the conversion of coronary vessel-wall lipids into dangerous atheromatous plaques.
- Much effort must be given to reducing the risk factors that predispose to major atheromatous arterial disease.

Origin

Late 16th century: via Latin from Greek athērōma, from athērē, atharē 'groats'.
