The hardening of your arteries caused by a slow accumulation of plaque is called atherosclerosis. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, inactivity, and a diet heavy in saturated fat are risk factors. Atherosclerosis is a progressive condition that may go undetected until it causes problems such as a heart attack or stroke. The slow accumulation of plaque in the artery walls is known as atherosclerosis. Arteries are blood vessels that provide your body's tissues and organs with oxygen-rich blood. A sticky material consisting of calcium, fat, cholesterol, and other elements is called plaque (atheroma). Your arterial walls get harder and thicker with the accumulation of plaque. In its early phases, this "hardening of the arteries" normally occurs silently. It's possible that symptoms won't show up right away. However, as the plaque gradually thickens, your artery's lumen narrows, making less space for blood to pass through. Less blood can therefore go to your tissues and organs. Furthermore, the continuous flow of blood may erode or rupture plaque, which could result in the formation of a blood clot.
