Detailed explanation-1: -Atherosclerosis, sometimes called “hardening of the arteries, ‘’ occurs when fat, cholesterol, and other substances build up in the walls of arteries. These deposits are called plaques. Over time, these plaques can narrow or completely block the arteries and cause problems throughout the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plaque is made up of deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin.
