Atherosclerosis - All Articles

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which cholesterol and other substances build up on the artery walls to form plaque that narrows the artery and restricts blood flow.

This increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other conditions. Medications and a heart-healthy lifestyle can prevent and treat atherosclerosis, and surgeries are available to remove plaque or reduce complications.
