Continued from PI and the interactions between themain pathological events. One of the recent developmentsin our understanding of heartdisease is that endothelialdysfunction is just as likely asendothelial injury to be the firststep in atherosclerosis. In the lightof this, a new strategy is toimprove the overall function of theendothelial cells that line thecoronary artery wall so they arebetter at protecting against injuryand controlling the inflammatoryresponse. It is now thought thatseveral micronutrients(antioxidants such as vitamin Eand C, selenium, B vitamins andflavonoids) can help prevent theinitial injury to these cells and thesubsequent inflammatory responseby reducing damaging factorssuch as oxidised lipids andhomocysteine. Current research isnow investigating this further. Fibrous plaque is formed at thesite of injury by deposition ofextracellular matrix proteins andcellular elements, including lipid-laden foam cells, platelets and
