thrombus accumulation
abnormal cellular changes in the heart muscle
abnormal cellular changes in the artery walls
fatty plaque accumulation

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis is a condition where arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque. Fatty plaque accumulation is a key feature. Also, the artery walls undergo abnormal cellular changes as part of the atherosclerotic process. Thrombus (blood clot) accumulation can occur in advanced stages (e.g., if plaque ruptures). Abnormal cellular changes in heart muscle are not a direct characteristic of atherosclerosis (atherosclerosis affects arteries, not heart muscle cells directly in terms of its core definition).

Answer:

thrombus accumulation, abnormal cellular changes in the artery walls, fatty plaque accumulation
