ATHEROSCLEROSIS is a specific type of arteriosclerosis where there is a clot formation or atheroma in the arteries.
It is a potentially serious condition where arteries become clogged with fatty substances such as fats, cholesterol, calcium crystals and other substances are called plaques, or atheroma.
The plaque can cause arteries to narrow, blocking blood flow, making them weak and sometimes burst.
Although atherosclerosis is often considered a heart problem, it can affect arteries anywhere in the body and the fragments of plaque can detach.
Heart attacks are generally caused by such blood clots, whereas strokes are more often caused by plaque fragments or gradual obstruction.
Accumulation of plaque can also lead to an aneurysm – the bulging and rupturing of a blood vessel, causing internal bleeding.
Unfortunately, because arterial plaque has no outward symptoms and signs, the condition is often discovered too late – with devastating consequences.
A routine blood test for C-reactive protein (CRP) can reveal inflammation and potential plaque dangers.
Patients can be examined usually through tongue that appears purplish with bulging veins underneath and pulse choppy, which indicates obstruction of blood flow.
COMMON CAUSES & RISK FACTORS
- High levels of cholesterol, triglycerides (lipids) and low -density lipoproteins (LDL) in the blood.
- Poor eating habits or diet rich in fats – oils, butter, cream, cheese etc.

- Family history.
- Metabolic disorders such as diabetes, Insulin resistance
- Stressful lifestyle
- Increasing age
- Being overweight or obese
- Regularly drinking excessive amounts of alcohol
- Inflammation due to arthritis, lupus, psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease etc
- Once the inner wall of an artery – endothelium, is damaged, white blood cells etc., gather at the injury site and start build up.
SIGN AND SYMPTOMS ATHEROSCLEROSIS
- Pain & pressure in chest and limbs during exertion.
- Cardiac diseases.
- Ischaemic heart diseases.
- Myocardial infarction.
- Cerebrovascular diseases.
- Atherosclerosis in the arteries leading to brain, can cause sudden numbness or weakness in arms or legs, difficulty speaking or slurred speech, temporary loss of vision in one eye, or drooping muscles in your face.
- If you have atherosclerosis in the arteries leading to kidneys, you may develop high blood pressure or kidney failure.
FURTHER HEALTH RISKS
If left untreated, they can potentially lead to a number of serious conditions known as cardiovascular disease (CVD) e.g.
- Coronary artery or heart disease – the main arteries that supply your heart become clogged with plaques.
- Angina – short periods of tight, dull or heavy chest pain caused by coronary heart disease, which may precede a heart attack.
- Heart attacks – where the blood supply to your heart is blocked, causing sudden crushing or indigestion-like chest pain that can radiate to nearby areas, as well as shortness of breath and dizziness.
- Strokes – where the blood supply to your brain is interrupted, causing the face to droop to one side, weakness on a side of the body, and slurred speech
- Transient ischaemic attacks – where there are temporary symptoms of a stroke
- Peripheral arterial disease – the blood supply to your legs is blocked, causing leg pain when walking
