Description
Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram scan showing carotid arteries affected by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which an artery wall thickens as a result of accumulations (atheromas) of fatty materials such as cholesterol. Such narrowing of blood vessels raises blood pressure and is a risk factor for strokes.
