What is Atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis causes plaque (cholestrol build-up) to grow inside the arteries. As plaque grows, the oxygen-rich blood flow to the organs and other parts of the body is restricted. Symptoms include chest pain, muscle weakness, pain in leg, arm or neck, shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, severe headaches, and in severe cases loss of consciousness.
