Atherosclerosis Infusion Therapy

Atherosclerosis is a condition where arteries narrow and harden due to plaque buildup. It develops slowly, often without symptoms, and can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Risk factors include high cholesterol, smoking, and hypertension. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery. Prevention focuses on a healthy diet, exercise, and not smoking.
