Atherosclerosis (ath-er-o-skle-RO-sis) is the hardening and narrowing of the arteries. It is caused by the slow buildup of plaque (plak) on the inside of walls of the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in your blood. As it grows, the buildup of plaque narrows the inside of the artery and, in time, may restrict blood flow.

Angioplasty (Balloon Angioplasty) is a procedure performed by cardiologists to help open narrowings in the coronary arteries. This procedure requires cardiac catheterization and involves passing a catheter with a balloon into the artery. The balloon is then blown up in the artery to eliminate the narrow area
