Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is an umbrella clinical term encompassing disorders of the arterial vascular system caused by atherosclerosis, predominantly affecting adult populations Over time, plaque expansion, luminal stenosis, or acute plaque rupture and thrombosis compromise organ perfusion, clinically manifesting as coronary heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, or aortic atherosclerotic disease
