Atherosclerotic heart disease - what does this mean
Atherosclerotic heart disease occurs when plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries, narrowing them and reducing blood flow to the heart. the plaque is made up of cholesterol, fat, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. over time, this buildup of plaque can lead to blockages, which can cause a heart attack or stroke.
