Definition. Atherosclerosis is a degenerative process of arteries. This disease starts early in life and develops slowly and silently.

The principal onset of atherosclerosis is formation of plaque: this can be due to several factors including endothelial dysfunction, intimal hyperplasia, lipid accumulation and inflammation.
