Atherosclerosis, or hardening of large arteries is the underlying cause of up to 50% of deaths in Western communities, primarily from heart attacks and strokes. Today it is considered a chronic inflammatory disease arising from the accumulation of fats such as cholesterol into the inner lining of blood vessels including those supply vital organs such as the heart and brain.
