Abstract
⺠Inflammation in atherosclerosis can be divided into direct and indirect mechanisms. ⺠Direct mechanisms are inflammatory events occurring within the blood vessel. ⺠Direct mechanisms include lipid deposition, microparticles, and infectious agents. ⺠Indirect mechanisms derive from inflammatory events that occur at nonvascular sites. ⺠Nonvascular events include respiratory infection and air pollution exposure.
