3.1 Ferroptosis and atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis (AS) is the most common cause of acute ischemic stroke,
which is related to the TOAST classification of large artery
atherosclerosis. Therefore, a more precise understanding of the
pathological mechanism of the occurrence and progression of AS may
benefit patients in preventing AIS. Studies have found that ferroptosis
is closely related to the occurrence of AS and participates in various
pathophysiological processes of AS57.
