Best Answer

Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disease that deals with the heart's arteries. When plaque or fatty substances like cholesterol or lipids build up in the arteries, blood flow becomes restricted, leading to a higher blood pressure and more force needed from the heart's pumps (ventricles and atria). Atherosclerosis can lead to hypertension, congestive heart failre, or even a heart attack.
