Healthy arteries are flexible and elastic, but over time, the walls in your arteries can harden, a condition commonly called hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis, but the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on your artery walls (plaques), which can restrict blood flow.
Clogged arteries, technically called atherosclerosis or hardening. of the arteries, occurs when plaque builds up inside the walls of. your arteries, causing them to narrow. Artery plaque is made up. of cholesterol, inflammatory cells, fat and other waste materials. When it hardens, artery plaque prevents blood circulating. efficiently and puts strain on the heart muscle, eventually. causing high blood pressure and heart disease.
