    condition where arteries narrow due to plaque buildup

    Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque, which is made up of fat, cholesterol, and other substances. This can restrict blood flow and lead to serious health problems like heart attacks and strokes. For professionals, it's important to note that the process involves endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and the accumulation of lipids within the arterial wall.
