Message definition (Atherosclerosis)
If the fibrous cap separating a soft atheroma from the bloodstream within the artery ruptures, tissue fragments are exposed and released. These tissue fragments are very clot-promoting, containing [[collagen]] and [[tissue factor]]; they activate [[platelet]]s and activate the [[coagulation|system of coagulation]]. The result is the formation of a [[thrombus]] (blood clot) overlying the atheroma, which obstructs blood flow acutely. With the obstruction of blood flow, downstream tissues are starved of [[oxygen]] and nutrients. If this is the [[myocardium]] (heart muscle) [[Angina pectoris|angina]] (cardiac chest pain) or [[myocardial infarction]] (heart attack) develops.
