摘　　要：The field of vascular medicine has undergone a profound transformation in the 21st century,transforming our approach to assessment and treatment.Athero-sclerosis,a complex inflammatory disease that affects medium and large arteries,presents a major challenge for researchers and healthcare professionals.This condition,characterized by arterial plaque formation and narrowing,poses sub-stantial challenges to vascular health at individual,national,and global scales.Its repercussions are far-reaching,with clinical outcomes including ischemic heart disease,ischemic stroke,and peripheral arterial disease—conditions with esca-lating global prevalence.Early detection of vascular changes caused by athero-sclerosis is crucial in preventing these conditions,reducing morbidity,and averting mortality.This article underscored the imperative of adopting a holistic approach to grappling with the intricacies,trajectories,and ramifications of atherosclerosis.It stresses the need for a thorough evaluation of the vasculature and the implementation of a multidisciplinary treatment approach.By consi-dering the entire vascular system,healthcare providers can explore avenues for prevention,early detection,and effective management of this condition,ultima-tely leading to improved patient outcomes.We discussed current practices and proposed new directions made possible by emerging diagnostic modalities and treatment strategies.Additionally,we considered healthcare expenditure,resour-ce allocation,and the transformative potential of new innovative treatments and technologies.
