Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram scan showing atheromatous plaques (purple) in the aortic arch. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which an artery wall thickens as a result of accumulations (atheromas) of fatty materials such as cholesterol. Such narrowing of blood vessels raises blood pressure, and reduces blood flow to organs and tissues. | |
