Predictive factors for vascular events have not been established. The vasculature of the atheroma is supplied by penetration of the vasa vasorum through the smooth muscle cell layer from the adventitia. Smooth muscle cell contraction induces compression of the vasa vasorum, resulting in ischemia in intimal atheromatous lesions. Cardio-ankle vascula...
