Creates a bloody circulation problem with two different articles offering foreign capital (8)
I believe the answer is:
atheroma
'creates a bloody circulation problem with two different articles' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'foreign capital' is the wordplay.
'foreign' becomes 'athe' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'capital' becomes 'roma' (Roma is an example).
'athe'+'roma'='ATHEROMA'
'offering' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atheroma that I've seen before include "may be cause of blockage in internal piping" , "Fatty deposit on inner lining of an artery" , "Accumulated fatty deposits in an artery, can obstruct blood flow" , "effect of cholesterol?" , "Fatty deposits in an artery obstructing blood flow" .)
