Abstract

La aterosclerosis es un proceso inflamatorio crónico que afecta a las arterias de diferentes lechos vasculares y que se caracteriza por el engrosamiento de la capa íntima y media con pérdida de la elasticidad. Su lesión básica es la placa de ateroma compuesta fundamentalmente de lípidos, tejido fibroso y células inflamatorias. Esta entidad constituye la primera causa de muerte en todo el mundo. Es objetivo de esta revisión determinar las principales alternativas terapéuticas de la aterosclerosis. La revisión de este tema mostró que los tratamientos con medidas dietéticas y cambios de estilo de vida, antioxidantes, estatinas, bloqueadores beta, inhibidores de la enzima conversiva de la angiotensina (IECA) y antagonistas de los canales del calcio resultan útiles para la enfermedad aterotrombóticas con independencia del lecho vascular afectado.
