Answer:

It reduces the diameter of an artery

Answer:

<u>Atherosclerosis</u><u> causes the artery to become very narrow -which interferes with blood circulation- by forming plaques that harden enough to damage the endothelium.</u>

Atherosclerosis is the number one cause of death and disability in developed countries. It generally starts at a young age and worsens over time, with the possibility to <u>cause strokes, coronary artery disease, and other serious issues depending on the artery affected</u>.
