Atherosclerosis is a syndrome, basically, affecting arterial blood vessels, causing a chronic inflammatory response in artery walls due to an accumulation of macrophage white blood cells and also promoted by LDL(low-density lipoproteins).
The process is caused by the formation of plaque within the arteries. Referred to as an atheroma in pathology, this build-up of debris and lipids causes swelling and blockage which can result in many problems, such as cardiac arrest.
