A disease of the arteries characterized by the deposition of plaques of fatty material on their inner walls,
  1. A disease of the arteries characterized by the deposition of plaques of fatty material on their inner walls

  1. a stage of arteriosclerosis involving fatty deposits (atheromas) inside the arterial walls, thus narrowing the arteries
  2. (atherosclerotic) of or relating to atherosclerosis
  3. Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a condition in which an artery wall thickens as the result of a build-up of fatty materials such as cholesterol. ...
  4. Atherosclerosis is a monthly, peer reviewed, scientific journal, which was established in 1970, and is published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd. ...
  5. The clogging or hardening of arteries or blood vessels caused by plaques (accumulations of fatty deposits, usually cholesterol)
  6. (atherosclerotic) relating to the deposition of lipids (fats) with the proliferation of connective tissue in the inner walls of the arteries
  7. Thickening of the arterial wall of blood vessels due to deposition of lipids (fats) and blood clots.
  8. a type of arteriosclerosis caused by a build-up of plaque in the inner lining of an artery.
  9. Deposition of lipids and plaque formation in arteries, leading to hardening and decrease in size of arterial lumen
  10. a blood vessel disease characterized by deposits of lipid material on the inside of the walls of large to medium-sized arteries which make the artery walls thick, hard, brittle, and prone to breaking. (Read about "Arteriosclerosis & Atherosclerosis")
  11. The process whereby abnormal deposits of lipids, cholesterol and plaque build up, leading to coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular problems.
  12. A blood vessel condition that develops when the buildup of plaque on arterial walls narrows the arterial passage and thus limits the amount of blood that can flow through the arteries to nourish the heart, brain, kidneys, and other organs.
  13. A disease of the arterial walls characterized by fatty deposits and abnormal tissue growth.
  14. a disease in which fatty material is deposited on the wall of the arteries. This fatty material causes the arteries to become narrow and it eventually restricts blood flow.
  15. clogging, narrowing, and hardening of the body’s large arteries and medium-sized blood vessels. Atherosclerosis can lead to stroke, heart attack, eye problems, and kidney problems.
  16. a condition in which fat within the arteries develops over years into fatty plaques. These plaques can eventually cause complete obstruction. Atherosclerosis mainly affects the aorta, and coronary and cerebral arteries. It can lead to cardiovascular disease.
  17. Narrowing or blocking of arteries by cholesterol or other fats and other fibrous tissue resulting in reduced blood flow.
  18. A degenerative process of arteries in which there are fatty deposits and degeneration of the inner lining of the vessel which, in turn, may lead to narrowing of the lumen of the vessel.
  19. A gradual process in which cholesterol and scar tissue build up, forming a substance called "plaque" that clogs the blood vessels.
  20. One of many diseases in which fat builds up in the large- and medium-sized arteries. This buildup of fat may slow down or stop blood flow. This disease can happen to people who have had diabetes for a long time.
  21. A chronic disease in which excessive amounts of fat and cholesterol remaining in the bloodstream collect on the inside walls of arteries, forming plaque that gradually thickens and hardens the arterial walls, slowing down and interfering with blood circulation until a blockage occurs. ...
  22. A condition that results from the gradualbuildup of fatty substances, including cholesterol, on artery walls.Use of PIs may increase cholesterol levels, which increases the risk ofdeveloping atherosclerosis. ...
  23. a buildup of fats in the lining of the arteries that may interfere with the flow of blood
  24. A hardening of the artery due to excess plaque accumulation.
  25. a variety of conditions where there is thickening, hardening, and/or loss of elasticity of the artery walls, resulting in altered function of tissues and organs
