Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on your artery walls (plaque), which may restrict blood flow. The plaque can burst, triggering a grume. Although atherosclerosis is usually considered a heart problem, it can affect arteries anywhere in your body. Medications for treating atherosclerosis include: cholesterol-lowering medications, including statins and fibrates. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which can help prevent narrowing of your arteries. Beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers to lower your vital sign.
