Atherosclerosis

By

Description

Humans are born with supple, flexible arteries that effortlessly deliver blood to the furthest reaches of the body. Over time, prompted by a poor diet, lack of physical activity, stress, smoking, and other "insults," arteries can become clogged with cholesterol–filled plaque. The process that turns healthy arteries into less–than–healthy ones is called atherosclerosis.

This multitouch book from Harvard Health Publications covers the medical background of atherosclerosis, and includes original 3D renders and videos, interactive diagrams and other content, and text from the renowned team at Harvard Medical School.
