Arteriosclerosis is a condition where the arteries, which are the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body, become thickened and stiff. This can restrict blood flow to vital organs and tissues, leading to various health problems. It is often associated with aging and lifestyle factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, smoking, and a lack of physical activity. Arteriosclerosis increases the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. Managing arteriosclerosis typically involves lifestyle changes like eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and managing underlying conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. In some cases, medications or procedures to improve blood flow may also be recommended.
