Atherosclerosis best describes the build-up of fatty substances called plaques along the artery walls that cause the arteries to thicken and lose their elasticity. Correct answer: A

Because of this the condition disrupts the flow of blood around the body and this can lead to serious problems, like stroke. Treating atherosclerosis is important for preventing complications. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, various medications, and surgical interventions.
