    GlossarySubclinical Atherosclerosis

    early artery plaque buildup without noticeable symptoms

    Subclinical atherosclerosis refers to the early stages of atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries, but without causing noticeable symptoms. This buildup can eventually lead to serious cardiovascular issues like heart attacks or strokes if not detected and managed early. Detecting subclinical atherosclerosis often involves imaging tests or biomarkers to identify the presence of plaque before it causes significant artery blockage or symptoms.
