Atherosclerosis is the medical term for a disease that hardens the arteries - the blood vessels. It develops from the build up of plaque and fat deposits and clogs the arteries causing a block. This is extremely dangerous, as blood cannot flow freely to the heart like it should. This condition is one of the reasons for strokes, vascular problems and Heart diseases.
