Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a serious vascular condition where fatty deposits, or plaque, build up in the walls of your arteries. This buildup restricts blood flow to critical areas like your brain, heart, and limbs. Left untreated, atherosclerosis can lead to severe complications such as heart attacks, strokes, or peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

If you have been diagnosed with PAD, there’s a strong likelihood that atherosclerosis is a contributing factor. Common symptoms include leg pain, cramping, or numbness during physical activity, but it can also remain silent until it causes significant damage.
