What Is Arteriosclerosis?

The walls of arteries are affected by this chronic disease. These walls loose their elasticity due to the increase of plaque in the walls. Due to this there is thickening and hardening of the walls which proves to be a hindrance in blood circulation.

The people affected with this disease are usually ones who are ageing, with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other conditions too. One could not find oneself in this condition overnight. The thickening of the walls is a progress of several years which is due to increase amounts of calcium deposits in the walls making hard and brittle.

The areas affected are the cardiovascular system, the brain, kidneys, upper and lower extremities. Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis are two different conditions which affect differently. Atherosclerosis is a build of fatty acids and leads to coronary heart disease, strokes and any other disorders occurring due to blood clots. Such disorders can lead

Some of the details which should not be overlooked are some very common signs and symptoms such as high blood pressure, kidney infections, reduced blood circulation to the fingers and toes.
