Thick calcific plaque of atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of fatty deposits, cholesterol, and calcium within the arterial walls, leading to narrowed and hardened arteries. This condition can restrict blood flow and increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. The calcification indicates a more advanced stage of atherosclerosis, often associated with chronic inflammation and injury to the blood vessel lining. Management typically involves lifestyle changes and medical interventions to reduce cardiovascular risks.
