perspectivePrediman K. Shah states that atherosclerosis was previously thought to be a passive process similar to rust buildup in a pipe resulting from cholesterol deposits, rather than an active inflammatory process.
claimLifestyle factors, including diet, exercise, and sufficient sleep, help regulate inflammatory processes.
claimThe inflammatory process involves immune cells flooding a site to destroy foreign invaders and damaged tissue, followed by the recession of inflammation to allow for healing once pathogens are eliminated.
procedureThe inflammatory process in the body follows this sequence: (1) An immune system trigger, such as a paper cut, chronic disease, or virus, initiates a defensive response. (2) The immune system launches an attack, including blood vessel expansion to increase blood flow to affected areas. (3) The immune system fails to recede after the threat is gone. (4) Inflammatory chemicals continue to flood the area, damaging healthy tissue.

claimVisible signs of the inflammatory process, such as redness, heat, pain, and swelling, occur when the body responds to injuries like paper cuts, sprained ankles, or bee stings.
claimChronic inflammation occurs when the inflammatory process becomes persistent, either because the body cannot rid itself of an offending substance or because the immune system enters 'threat mode' when no actual threat exists.
