Atherosclerosis
Answer
Atherosclerosis, the hardening of arteries due to plaque buildup, is a consequence of unregulated cholesterol metabolism. Cholesterol, a waxy substance essential for the body in moderation, can accumulate in the arteries when its levels are high or its transportation goes awry. This buildup causes narrowing of the arteries, reducing blood flow, and potentially leading to cardiovascular issues like heart attacks and strokes.
