Arteriosclerosis is a condition in which the arteries become hardened and narrowed due to the buildup of plaque. This can lead to a variety of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, heart attack, and peripheral artery disease. As such, the arteriosclerosis drug market is an important part of the cardiovascular drug market. Arteriosclerosis drugs are typically used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing the buildup of plaque in the arteries. These drugs can be divided into two main categories: antiplatelet drugs and statins. Antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin, work by preventing platelets from sticking together and forming clots. Statins, such as atorvastatin, work by reducing the amount of cholesterol in the blood. In addition to these two categories, there are also other drugs used to treat arteriosclerosis, such as ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and calcium channel blockers. These drugs work by reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow. Some of the companies in the arteriosclerosis drug market include Pfizer, Merck, Novartis, Sanofi, and AstraZeneca.
