Answer:

A condition that occurs when the blood supply to the heart slows or stops, causing damage to the heart muscle

Step-by-step explanation:

Arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body (arteries) become thick and stiff — sometimes restricting blood flow to your organs and tissues.
