Atherosclerosis is a disorder that affects your heart and blood vessels that support it. Atherosclerosis is also known as the hardening of the arteries. The blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen throughout the body become much smaller than they were. This is body of fatty deposits that collect inside of the artery. This fatty deposit is also known as plaque. This fatty deposit, or plaque, will eventually build up and clog the artery so badly that it cuts off the entire blood supply.
