What is the meaning of atheromatous artery? and it's signs and symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholesterol: Atheroma in an artery is cholesterol plaque and if untreated can lead to decreased or complete sudden blockage of blood flow - a heart attack. There may not always be symptoms if there is not enough narrowing to decrease blood flow through that artery.
