Pablo Corral: Atherosclerosis Is NOT an Inflammatory Disease
Pablo Corral, Pharmacology Professor at FASTA University, Past President of Argentine Lipid Society, shared on LinkedIn:
“Atherosclerosis IS NOT an inflammatory disease
- Tuberculosis is not an inflammatory disease. It’s an infectious disease
- HIV is not an inflammatory disease. It’s an infectious disease
- Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus is an inflammatory disease.
Atherosclerosis?
It has a strong inflammatory component — no doubt.
But fundamentally, it is a disease of retention and deposition.
Let’s stop confusing the mechanisms involved with the disease itself.”
