Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of fatty deposits, cholesterol, and other substances in the arterial walls, leading to narrowed and hardened arteries, which can restrict blood flow. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of the blood against the artery walls is consistently too high, increasing the risk of Heart disease and stroke. Both conditions are interrelated, as atherosclerosis can contribute to the development of hypertension by reducing arterial flexibility and increasing resistance to blood flow. Together, they pose significant health risks and require management through lifestyle changes and medical intervention.
