Arteriosclerosis is the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to a buildup of fatty plaques on the artery walls. It is caused by factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and inflammation. Symptoms include weakness, numbness, confusion, and vision and speech problems. Treatments include angioplasty to widen arteries, coronary bypass surgery, endarterectomy to remove plaque, and thrombolytic therapy to break up blood clots. Prevention focuses on a healthy diet, exercise, stress management, and herbal remedies.
