Atherosclerosis involves a buildup of plaque in the arteries. Plaque consists of deposits of substances, including fat, cholesterol, and cellular waste. The buildup of plaque in the arteries

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is often caused by a buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the artery walls, a condition called atherosclerosis. The buildup is called plaque. Plaque can cause arteries to narrow, blocking blood flow. In PAD, plaque collects in the arteries of the arms or legs. Less common causes of PAD include:

Drugs; Coronary artery disease (CAD) is narrowing of the arteries to your heart caused by a buildup of plaque (cholesterol and other substances). The narrowing in
Plaque can inhibit blood flow through an artery. The effect on health depends on what tissue or organ the plaque-damaged artery nourishes. Plaque in a coronary artery can
Statins don't clear plaques from arteries, but they may reduce the size of plaques in certain parts of the body. Research from China published in 2024 suggested that the statin drug Crestor (rosuvastatin) could reduce plaque size in people with peripheral artery disease (a vascular disease affecting the limbs).
