<p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;"> Cardiovascular disease has been identified as one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and particularly in North America. Cardiovascular disease is strongly associated with atherosclerotic plaque: the accumulation of oxidized lipids and foam cells over the inner layer of arteries; atherosclerotic plaque does not only affect the behaviour of factors as blood pressure, but is also a major cause of strokes and cardiovascular events. <br><br> | <p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;"> Cardiovascular disease has been identified as one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and particularly in North America.
