    Atherothrombotic disease involves blood flow obstruction caused by narrowing of blood vessels or clot formation. Hypertension is an increase in arterial tension due to narrowing of blood vessels, which places stress on blood vessel walls and causes hypertrophy of the media layer and loss of elasticity and compliance, leading to atherosclerosis and endothelial damage.

    Hypertension
    Iqi Siti Rizkiah

    Atherothrombotic
    Blood flow obstruction
    Etiology :

    - Narrowing of blood vessel


    - clot formation

    Hypertension
    Increase arterial tension (narrowing of BV)

    - increase stress in BV wall


    - hypertrophy of the media
    - elastic > firm
    (arteriosclerosis/arteriolosclerosis)
    - loosing compliance

    Hypertension
    Atherosclerosis

    - endothelium damage
