Detailed explanation-1: -The increased pressure on your arteries resulting from hypertension can cause damage to your artery walls. Blood and other substances will collect at this injured site. Eventually, plaque will also start to gather at this site, causing a hard, thick, and narrowed artery, which is called arteriosclerosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -High blood pressure: Over time, high blood pressure can damage artery walls, allowing plaque to build up. Diabetes: High blood sugar can damage the inner layers of the arteries, causing plaque buildup. Metabolic syndrome: High levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood increase your risk.
