Atherosclerosis | Overview


What is atherosclerosis?

Atherosclerosis (say: “ath-er-o-skler-o-sis”) is a disease that causes your arteries to become hard and narrowed. It’s even possible for an artery to become completely blocked. Your arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body.
