Cerebral atherosclerosis - what does this mean

Cerebral atherosclerosis is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the brain become narrowed due to the buildup of fatty deposits (atherosclerotic plaques) on the artery walls. this can lead to reduced or blocked blood flow to the brain, which can cause a stroke or other serious health problems.

What happens during the disease - cerebral atherosclerosis

Cerebral atherosclerosis is a condition in which fatty deposits build up in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the brain. this buildup can cause the arteries to narrow, restricting blood flow to the brain, leading to a lack of oxygen and nutrients. over time, this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including stroke, cognitive decline, and even death.
