Atherosclerosis is a disease affecting the arterial blood vessel and it is commonly referred to as a "hardening" or "furring" of the arteries. It is caused by the formation of multiple plaques within the arteries. Theses plaques begin to form when a vessel receives tiny injuries‚ usually at a point of branching. In turn these plaques gradually thicken and harden with fibrous material‚ cells‚ and other deposits‚ restricting the lumen (opening) of the vessel and reducing blood flow to the tissues‚

swelling and inflammation of the walls of the blood vessels. It also affects the mucous membranes‚ lymph nodes‚ and the heart. The heart problems are the most worrisome part of the disease. The inflammation of blood vessels in the arteries of the heart (coronary arteries) can lead to aneurysms. An aneurysm is a weak area in the blood vessel that balloons out. Such aneurysms can lead to a heart attack. This may happen even in young children. It is very uncommon. Kawasaki disease is more common in

“Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is diagnosed with these risk factors along with the presence of recent onset bilateral pulmonary infiltrates compatible with edema‚ critical hypoxemia‚ and the absence of evidence of a hydrostatic cause of edema‚ such as a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) below18 mmHg [1‚ 2]. The diagnosis therefore requires a pulmonary artery catheter‚ although a high PCWP does not exclude permeability edema. Indeed‚ ARDS is believed to result from a lung vascular injury
