Atherosclerosis is just one of several types of "arterio"-sclerosis, which is characterized by thickening and hardening of artery walls, but the two terms are often used to mean the same thing.
- Blood vessels lose a certain amount of elasticity with aging.
- A build up of fatty deposits (plaque) occurs in the blood vessel lining.
- Loss of vessel elasticity is termed arteriosclerosis, while fatty deposit build-up is termed atherosclerosis.
- The process is thought to begin early in life.
- Cigarette smoking is thought to be a causative factor.
- High blood pressure is thought to be a causative factor.
- Diabetes is thought to be a causative factor.
- Obesity is thought to be a causative factor.
There are usually no symptoms until one or more arteries are so clogged with plaque that blood flow is severely reduced. This reduced flow of blood and oxygen to some part of the body (such as the heart) is called ischemia and may cause pain or discomfort. Some people have no symptoms until a blood clot forms, completely blocks an already narrowed artery, and causes a heart attack or stroke.
Typical symptoms of atherosclerosis include chest pain when a coronary artery is involved, or leg pain when a leg artery is involved.
Medications may be recommended to reduce fats and cholesterol in your blood; a low-fat diet, weight loss, and exercise are also usually suggested. Control of high blood pressure is also important.
