Atherosclerosis in an artery. Illustration of a cross-section through an artery affected by atherosclerosis, a disease in which the artery is dangerously narrowed by lipid (fat) deposits on the inner walls. These are shown in yellow, with the resulting structure known as an atheroma. This condition can lead to restriction of the blood flow, and can cause conditions such as a heart attack or stroke. | |
