Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside the arteries (blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart and other organs). The plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows the arteries. The plaque can also burst, leading to a blood clot.
