What is atherosclerosis and what key blood cholesterol factors are most associated with this disease?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary.
Atherosclerosis, also referred to as hardening of the arteries, develops as plaque thickens in the vessel. This thickening eventually chokes off the blood supply to organs, setting the stage for a heart attack and other problems, or it breaks apart and causes a clot to form in an artery. Typically, high LDL and low HDL values are associated with higher risk.
