Question

What is the cause, symptoms and treatment of Atherosclerosis?​

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline {\underline {\green{Answer}}}}$

Atherosclerosis usually doesn't cause symptoms until you're middle-age or older. As the narrowing becomes severe, it can choke off blood flow and cause pain. Blockages can also rupture suddenly. That causes blood to clot inside an artery at the site of the rupture.

Answer 2

Atherosclerosis is the narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup on the artery walls.

Atherosclerosis starts when the endothelium becomes damaged, allowing the harmful type of cholesterol to build up in the artery wall.


The first signs of atherosclerosis can begin to develop during adolescence, with streaks of white blood cells appearing on the artery wall. Most often, there are no symptoms until a plaque ruptures, or the blood flow is very restricted. This typically takes many years to occur.

Treating atherosclerosis is important for preventing complications.

Treatment options include lifestyle changes, various medications, and surgical interventions. However, it is important that a doctor correctly diagnoses atherosclerosis to make sure that the arteries are returned to full capability.
