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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The arteries in the heart (coronary arteries), neck (carotid arteries) and the legs are affected most often. A plaque can also break apart.
