Atherosclerosis is a condition in which patchy deposits of fatty material (atheromas or atherosclerotic plaques) develop in the walls of medium-sized and large arteries, leading to reduced or blocked blood flow.

Atherosclerosis is caused by repeated injury to the walls of arteries.
Many factors contribute to this injury, including high blood pressure, tobacco smoke, diabetes, and high levels of cholesterol in the blood.
Blood vessel blockage due to atherosclerosis is a common cause of heart attack and stroke.
Often, the first symptom is pain or cramps at times when blood flow cannot keep up with the tissues
