Arteries can "die" or become severely damaged due to a process called atherosclerosis, where fatty deposits, cholesterol, and other substances build up on the artery walls, leading to plaque formation. This buildup narrows the arteries and restricts blood flow, potentially causing ischemia or tissue death in the areas supplied by the affected artery. Other factors contributing to arterial damage include inflammation, high blood pressure, and oxidative stress. Over time, these factors can lead to serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes.
