Atheroma
goodtoknow says: Atheroma or hardening of the arteries happens when fatty deposits built up in your blood vessels causing heart- related problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angina, heart attack and stroke. Blood flow to your heart is reduced or sometimes blocked. If you're over 40, have a family history of heart disease, smoke, are obese, eat an unhealthy diet, drink and don't exercise your risk is increased. Lifestyle changes can help reduce risk and medication can be given to control blood pressure and high cholesterol. A daily low dose aspirin is also advised.
