Atherosclerosis is a process where plaques are formed within the lumen (inner lining) of blood vessels. This causes narrowing of the blood vessel.
Atherosclerotic blockages most often occur in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, leading to conditions such as heart attacks. They can also occur in the carotid arteries supplying blood to the brain, causing strokes, and in the peripheral arteries of the legs, leading to peripheral artery disease.
An atherosclerotic lesion is characterized by accumulation of fat around scar tissue.
In atherosclerotic renovascular hypertension disease, plaque is deposited in the renal artery. The deposits narrow the artery, disrupting blood flow.
