Arteriosclerosis occurs when the arteries become thickened and stiff, often due to the buildup of plaque, which consists of fat, cholesterol, and other substances. This process can be accelerated by risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and Diabetes. As the arterial walls harden, blood flow is restricted, which can lead to serious cardiovascular problems, including heart attacks and strokes. Over time, the loss of elasticity in the arteries can further exacerbate these issues.
