Brain with atherosclerosis. From the Blackburn Collection of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and Department of Neuropathology, AFIP. April 1990.

Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a condition in which an artery wall thickens as a result of the accumulation of fatty materials such as cholesterol. It is a syndrome affecting arterial blood vessels, a chronic inflammatory response in the walls of arteries, caused largely by the accumulation of macrophage white blood cells and promoted by low-density lipoproteins (LDL, plasma proteins that carry cholesterol and triglycerides) without adequate removal of fats and cholesterol from the macrophages by functional high-density lipoproteins (HDL) (see apoA-1 Milano). It is commonly referred to as a hardening or furring of the arteries. It is caused by the formation of multiple plaques within the arteries.

My dad has this condition and it's severely affected his heart. He's had a bypass and a stent put in and may need another stent soon. He manages it with a very strict diet and medication. His is genetic and he's had 3 heart attacks so far. Two of his brothers died from heart attacks from atherosclerosis
