A specialized medical journal of the United States, entitled "Clinical Cardiology", recently published a new study about the cause of heart attack and stroke.
Results of the study showed that the crystalline cholesterol buildup of plaque inside blood vessels as the culprit causing this illness.
Previously, scientists said that when the plaques in blood vessels rupture and cause blockage often causes heart attacks and strokes.
Professor Gioocgio S. Abela at the University of Michigan said when cholesterol crystallizes, two phenomena can occur: first, if a large "pool" cholesterol liquid, it will spread out and puncture the walls of blood vessels; second, if a crystal sharp as needle-like structure, it will break through into the same circuit as the nails into the wood.
According to Prof. Abela, ever, in the process of treating and preventing heart disease and stroke, the medical community is not paying attention to the process of cholesterol crystals.
With this new discovery, the researchers hope to find new treatments, more effective for this disease.
