Yes, atherosclerosis can lead to death. It is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can result in reduced blood flow and increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. These events can be fatal, especially if they occur suddenly or are not treated promptly. Additionally, complications from atherosclerosis can lead to chronic conditions that significantly impact health and longevity.
