body(
"Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), also called heart blockage, ischemic heart disease, or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) become narrowed or blocked. This happens because of the gradual build-up of fatty deposits called plaques inside the artery wall. Over many years, these plaques can restrict blood flow, starve the heart of oxygen, and trigger a heart attack."
),
body(
"CAD is the single leading cause of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ischemic heart disease accounts for approximately 16% of all deaths globally. In simple terms: think of a water pipe slowly getting clogged with grease. As the clog grows, less water flows through - and if the pipe completely blocks, the water supply stops entirely."

spacer(1),

High blood pressure, high cholesterol, cigarette smoke, and blood sugar damage this lining. The damaged endothelium produces less nitric oxide (NO) - the natural compound that keeps vessels relaxed and smooth."),
boldBullet("Step 2 - LDL Cholesterol Accumulates", "Bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood slips through the damaged endothelium into the arterial wall. Once inside, LDL is chemically modified (oxidised) and becomes even more dangerous."),
boldBullet("Step 3 - Macrophage Recruitment", "The immune system detects the damage and sends white blood cells called monocytes to the site. These monocytes enter the artery wall, transform into macrophages, and try to 'eat' the oxidised LDL."),
boldBullet("Step 4 - Foam Cell Formation", "When macrophages swallow too much oxidised LDL, they swell and take on a foamy appearance - hence the name foam cells. These foam cells die and their contents accumulate, forming what we call a fatty streak - the earliest visible sign of atherosclerosis."),
boldBullet("Step 5 - Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation", "Growth factors and cytokines (inflammatory signalling molecules) stimulate smooth muscle cells to migrate from the middle layer (media) to the inner layer (intima). These cells produce collagen and other proteins, creating a fibrous cap over the fatty core. The result is a mature atherosclerotic plaque."),

Create a visual infographic poster of the 6-step atherosclerosis pathway
A professional medical infographic poster showing the 6-step atherosclerosis pathway titled "How Heart Blockage Develops: The 6-Step Atherosclerosis Pathway". Dark navy blue background with clean white and light blue text. Six numbered steps arranged vertically with downward arrows connecting them, each step in a rounded card/box: Step 1 - ENDOTHELIAL DAMAGE: Icon of a cracked artery wall. Text: "High blood pressure, cholesterol & smoking injure the artery's inner lining. Nitric oxide (NO) drops — the natural protector is lost." Step 2 - LDL CHOLESTEROL ENTERS: Icon of yellow fat droplets entering artery wall. Text: "Bad cholesterol (LDL) slips through the damaged lining into the artery wall and becomes oxidised (chemically altered)." Step 3 - MACROPHAGE RECRUITMENT: Icon of white blood cells arriving. Text: "The immune system sends monocytes to the site. They enter the artery wall and transform into macrophages to 'eat' the oxidised LDL." Step 4 - FOAM CELL FORMATION: Icon of swollen bubbly cells. Text: "Macrophages overloaded with LDL become 'foam cells'. They die and form a FATTY STREAK — the first visible sign of disease." Step 5 - SMOOTH MUSCLE PROLIFERATION: Icon of fibrous cap forming. Text: "Smooth muscle cells migrate and produce collagen, forming a FIBROUS CAP over the fatty core → a mature atherosclerotic plaque." Step 6 - PLAQUE RUPTURE & HEART ATTACK: Icon of broken plaque with blood clot. Text: "Unstable plaque RUPTURES. Blood contacts the core → instant blood clot → artery blocked → HEART ATTACK (MI)." Each step has a distinct accent color: Step 1 orange, Step 2 yellow, Step 3 blue, Step 4 red-orange, Step 5 purple, Step 6 bright red. Bottom of poster shows a simplified cross-section of artery progressing from normal to blocked. Footer reads "Source: Sabiston Textbook of Surgery | Guyton & Hall Physiology". Clean, clinical, educational style suitable for hospitals and medical schools.

| Step | Stage | Key Event |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Endothelial Damage | Artery lining injured; nitric oxide drops |
| 2 | LDL Entry & Oxidation | Bad cholesterol slips in and becomes toxic |
| 3 | Macrophage Recruitment | Immune cells arrive to clean up |
| 4 | Foam Cell Formation | Macrophages overload → fatty streak forms |
| 5 | Smooth Muscle Proliferation | Fibrous cap grows over fatty core |
| 6 | Plaque Rupture → MI | Clot forms instantly → artery blocked → heart attack |

body("Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), also called heart blockage, ischemic heart disease, or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) become narrowed or blocked. This happens because of the gradual build-up of fatty deposits called plaques inside the artery wall. Over many years, these plaques can restrict blood flow, starve the heart of oxygen, and trigger a heart attack."),
body("CAD is the single leading cause of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ischemic heart disease accounts for approximately 16% of all deaths globally. In simple terms: think of a water pipe slowly getting clogged with grease. As the clog grows, less water flows through - and if the pipe completely blocks, the water supply stops entirely."),

The damaged endothelium produces less nitric oxide (NO) - the natural compound that keeps vessels relaxed and smooth."),
boldBullet("Step 2 - LDL Cholesterol Accumulates", "Bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood slips through the damaged endothelium into the arterial wall. Once inside, LDL is chemically modified (oxidised) and becomes even more dangerous."),
boldBullet("Step 3 - Macrophage Recruitment", "The immune system detects the damage and sends white blood cells called monocytes to the site. These monocytes enter the artery wall, transform into macrophages, and try to 'eat' the oxidised LDL."),
boldBullet("Step 4 - Foam Cell Formation", "When macrophages swallow too much oxidised LDL, they swell and take on a foamy appearance - hence the name foam cells. These foam cells die and their contents accumulate, forming what we call a fatty streak - the earliest visible sign of atherosclerosis."),
boldBullet("Step 5 - Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation", "Growth factors and cytokines (inflammatory signalling molecules) stimulate smooth muscle cells to migrate from the middle layer (media) to the inner layer (intima). These cells produce collagen and other proteins, creating a fibrous cap over the fatty core. The result is a mature atherosclerotic plaque."),

body("Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), also called heart blockage, ischemic heart disease, or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) become narrowed or blocked. This happens because of the gradual build-up of fatty deposits called plaques inside the artery wall. Over many years, these plaques can restrict blood flow, starve the heart of oxygen, and trigger a heart attack."),
body("CAD is the single leading cause of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ischemic heart disease accounts for approximately 16% of all deaths globally. In simple terms: think of a water pipe slowly getting clogged with grease. As the clog grows, less water flows through - and if the pipe completely blocks, the water supply stops entirely."),
heading2("1.2 Step-by-Step Mechanism of Atherosclerosis (How Plaque Forms)"),
body("The disease develops through a series of well-understood biological steps:"),
boldBullet("Step 1 - Endothelial Damage", "The inner lining of a coronary artery (the endothelium) is a single layer of cells that act like a protective wall. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, cigarette smoke, and blood sugar damage this lining. The damaged endothelium produces less nitric oxide (NO) - the natural compound that keeps vessels relaxed and smooth."),
boldBullet("Step 2 - LDL Cholesterol Accumulates", "Bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood slips through the damaged endothelium into the arterial wall. Once inside, LDL is chemically modified (oxidised) and becomes even more dangerous."),
boldBullet("Step 3 - Macrophage Recruitment", "The immune system detects the damage and sends white blood cells called monocytes to the site. These monocytes enter the artery wall, transform into macrophages, and try to 'eat' the oxidised LDL."),
boldBullet("Step 4 - Foam Cell Formation", "When macrophages swallow too much oxidised LDL, they swell and take on a foamy appearance - hence the name foam cells. These foam cells die and their contents accumulate, forming what we call a fatty streak - the earliest visible sign of atherosclerosis."),
boldBullet("Step 5 - Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation", "Growth factors and cytokines (inflammatory signalling molecules) stimulate smooth muscle cells to migrate from the middle layer (media) to the inner layer (intima). These cells produce collagen and other proteins, creating a fibrous cap over the fatty core. The result is a mature atherosclerotic plaque."),
boldBullet("Step 6 - Plaque Growth and Stenosis", "The plaque bulges inward, progressively narrowing the artery lumen. Calcium deposits can harden the plaque, making arteries rigid (often called 'hardening of the arteries' or arteriosclerosis)."),
