1.chest pain or angina
2.pain in your leg, arm, and anywhere else that has a blocked artery
3.shortness of breath
4.fatigue
5.confusion, which occurs if the blockage affects circulation to your brain
6.muscle weakness in your legs from lack of circulation
The symptoms of heart attack and stroke can also be caused by atherosclerosis and thus requires IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.]]> 2021-04-28 10:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1468342350 sarafanvesha https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1468344529 2021-04-28 10:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1468344529 vidishajagnani123 https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1470180934 Some of the preventions of ATHEROSCLEROSIS:-
1)EATING a healthy diet that’s low in saturated fat and cholesterol
2)Avoiding fatty foods
3)AVOID smoking
Smoking damages your arteries. Quitting smoking is the best thing you can do to keep your arteries healthy.
4)MANAGING stress

Exercise most days of the week. Regular exercise improves blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and reduces  the risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.
6)TREATING conditions associated with atherosclerosis, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes
PREVENTION:- VIDISHA]]> 2021-04-28 17:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1470216280 navyamimani https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1473143313 Despite advances in medical, interventional, and surgical treatment, atherosclerotic disease remains the most important cause of death in developed and underprivileged nations. In the United States alone, coronary artery disease causes approximately 1 of every 6 deaths, accounting for more than 400,000 deaths annually.
in 2016, the estimated prevalence of atherosclerosis in India was estimated to be 54.5 million. One in 4 deaths in India are now because of CVDs with ischemic heart disease and stroke responsible for >80% of this burden.

2.)Many different drugs and medications like statins and other cholestrol medications, blood thinners and other blood pressure medications are used for the treatment.
3.)If you have severe symptoms or a blockage, your doctor may recommend you for some surgical procedures like angioplasty and stent placement, fibrinolytic therapy and coronary artery bypass surgery]]> 2021-04-29 17:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1475030766 raysanchali06 https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1479014171 Atherosclerosis occurs when the arteries become thick and stiff — sometimes restricting blood flow to the organs and tissues. Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis. It is the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the artery walls. This buildup is called plaque. The plaque can cause your arteries to narrow, blocking blood flow.

Although the exact cause is unknown, atherosclerosis may start with damage or injury to the inner layer of an artery. The damage may be caused by:-
• High blood pressure 
•High cholesterol
•high triglycerides; a type of fat(lipid) in our blood
•Smoking and other sources of tobacco
•Insulin resistance,  obesity, or diabetes
• Inflammation from an unknown cause or from diseases such as arthritis, lupus, psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease ]]> 2021-04-30 17:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1479231283 navyachuriwal https://padlet.com/sarafanvesha/9ljetgi5suk5rn9w/wish/1479268473 Once the inner wall of an artery is damaged, blood cells and other substances often clump at the injury site and build up in the inner lining of the artery.
Over time, fatty deposits made of cholesterol and other cellular products also build up at the injury site and harden, narrowing your arteries.
Eventually, pieces of the fatty deposits may break off and enter the bloodstream. A blood clot can also travel to other parts of our body, blocking flow to other organs.
