Hi There

After going trough your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that atherosclerosis is a disease of large or medium muscular arteries caused by buildup of lipids, cholesterol, calcium and cellular debris within the intima of vessel wall. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause stroke.

Prevention and treat atherosclerosis requires risk factor control, including the medical treatment of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and Diabetes Mallitus with lifestyle Modification.

Physician consultation is highly recommended for further management.

Kind Regards
