Atherosclerosis

LEARN MORE

Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis causes arteries to narrow, weaken and be less flexible. It's the term for the process of fatty buildup in the inner lining of an artery. The buildup that results is called plaque and reduces the amount of blood and oxygen that is delivered to vital organs.
