Detailed explanation-1: -Atherosclerosis is thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. Risk factors may include high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical activity, and eating saturated fats.
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.
