The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The disease process gradually restricts blood flow to body organs and tissues and can proceed to severe health risks brought on by atherosclerosis, which is the specific form of arteriosclerosis caused by buildup of fatty plaques, cholesterol, and other substances in and on arterial walls.
- Risk factors include family history, smoking, and obesity.
- Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of coronary artery disease and stroke, with multiple genetic and environmental contributions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Arteriosclerosis article was read about 180,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
