What is the name of the medical term for an abnormal condition of artery hardening and why it is dangerous to have this disease?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The correct answer to the questions: What is the name of the medical term for an abnormal condition of artery hardening, and why is it dangerous to have this disease? would be as follows:

1. The name of the disease in which the walls of the arteries become hardened and the lumen of the vessels through which the blood flows become constricted, is atherosclerosis, or also arteriosclerotic vascular disease. This disease speaks about the deposition of fatty and triglyceride globes on the walls of the arteries, causing an obstruction of the lumen, and therefore difficulting the passage of blood through them. Also, these deposits make the normal flexibility and resilience of the arteries much less, which is why it seems like the vessels were becoming hardened.

2. It is a very dangerous condition precisely because of what it implies. First, by reducing the blood flow through the arteries, the organs that depend on the proper arrival of oxygenated blood to them, and the removal of waste, for proper functioning, start to suffer the consequences. One such organs are the kidneys, whose cells begin to die, and the organ to be damaged, due to a lack of proper oxygenation, and because they have to work double to filter the blood that flows to them. The other reason is that the body responds to the lowering of blood flow by increasing arterial pressure on the walls. This further decreases flow due to obstruction, and also increases the suffering of the organs, like the kidneys. If atherosclerotic disease is not controlled, it can lead to permanent loss of organs, and even death.
