What Does ASHD Stand For?
ASHD stands for Arteriosclerotic Heart Disease
Arteriosclerotic Heart Disease (ASHD) refers to a condition characterized by the thickening and hardening of the arterial walls due to the accumulation of fatty deposits, cholesterol, and other substances. This process leads to reduced blood flow and can result in serious cardiovascular issues, such as heart attacks and strokes. ASHD is often associated with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle. Effective management includes lifestyle modifications, medication, and, in some cases, surgical interventions to improve heart health and reduce the risk of complications.
