Intimal thickening refers to the pathological thickening of the innermost layer of a blood vessel, known as the intima. This condition often occurs in response to injury, inflammation, or risk factors such as high cholesterol, hypertension, and Diabetes. It is associated with the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and the accumulation of extracellular matrix, which can lead to narrowed vessels and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Intimal thickening is an early indicator of atherosclerosis and other vascular disorders.
