Abstract
Viruses have been implicated as triggers of endothelial injury initiating the process of atherosclerosis. Because patients with atherosclerosis suffer acute events associated with arterial thrombi obstructing a vital vessel, the role of viruses in promoting a procoagulant endothelium has been explored. This review targets the evidence that viruses contribute to atherogenesis, and discusses mechanisms by which specific herpes viruses promote inflammation and thrombosis.
