ATHEROSCLEROSIS is defined as the hardening and narrowing of the arteries putting blood flow at risk. Arteries are blood vessels that move blood from the heart throughout the body that are lined by a thin of layers of cell known as ENDOTHELIUM that functions to keep inside of the arteries toned and smooth that keep the blood flowing.

ATHEROSCLEROSIS occurs with damage to the ENDOTHELIUM caused by high blood pressure, high cholesterol in the body, diabetes and smoking. These plaques formation result in bump on the artery wall that gets bigger as the atherosclerosis continues, that can result in blockage of the entire body.

ATHEROSCLEROSIS does not cause symptoms until middle age or older age, when the narrowing becomes severe. It can cut off blood flow and cause rupture suddenly which can cause blood clot inside the artery wall leading to life threatening complications such as stroke and heart attack.
