The following information is about Atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis Defined
Hardening of the arteries; a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque and other substances in the inner lining of the blood vessels. When plaque builds up in an artery of the heart, the artery becomes narrowed, reducing the blood flow. This can lead to angina or a heart attack. In the arteries of the neck or brain, it can lead to a stroke.
This definition is in context to Cardiovascular Health. See more contextual defintions for Atherosclerosis.
