Hardening, narrowing or loss of elasticity in arteries or blood vessels
arteriosclerosis (är-tîr´ê-o-skle-ro¹sîs), general term for a condition characterized by thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of the walls of the arteries In its most common form, atherosclerosis, fatty deposits, e g , CHOLESTEROL, build up on the inner artery walls; in some cases calcium deposits also form The blood vessels narrow, and blood flow decreases; THROMBOSIS, HEART DISEASE, and STROKE may result Surgical treatment is sometimes effective, but there is no specific cure A low-cholesterol diet and control of predisposing factors, such as HYPERTENSION, smoking, DIABETES, and obesity, are usually recommended 1
describes thickening or hardening of arteries
Hardening of the arteries due to conditions that cause the arterial walls to become thick, hard, and none elastic
Hardening of the arteries; types generally recognized are: atherosclerosis, Mönckeberg's arteriosclerosis, and arteriolosclerosis  
A chronic disease of the arteries characterized by the thickening or hardening of the arterial walls impairing blood circulation
a condition in which there is a hardening, thickening and loss of elasticity in the walls of the arteries
Arteriosclerosis is a general term for the hardening and thickening of the arterial wall, with a loss of elasticity
The process whereby abnormal deposits of lipids, cholesterol and plaque build up, leading to narrowing or blockage in arteries taking blood to the hand, foot head or vital organs Also called atherosclerosis
commonly called "hardening of the arteries"; a variety of conditions caused by fatty or calcium deposits in the artery walls causing them to thicken
commonly called "hardening of the arteries;" a variety of conditions caused by fatty or calcium deposits in the artery walls causing them to thicken
A disease process commonly called hardening of the arteries This includes a variety of conditions that cause artery walls to thicken and lose elasticity
A condition involving arterial (or vascular) sclerosis or hardening of the vessels
Arteriosclerosis is a medical condition in which the walls of your arteries become hard and thick, so your blood cannot flow through them properly. a disease in which your arteries become hard, which makes it difficult for the blood to flow through
group of arterial diseases characterized by thickening of the vessels, frequently with hardening and/or calcification
The gradual buildup of plaque along the inside wall of an artery Contrary to what you may have read or been told, less than 5% of a plaque is made up of cholesterol The remainder consists of clot-like material and various cells If the plaque occludes more than 50% of the arterial lumen (opening), then it may interfere with the flow of blood A heart attack is believed to be due to the rupture of a plaque in one of the coronary arteries followed by bleeding and the formation of a clot If the clot completely blocks the artery, the victim may have a myocardial infarction (heart attack)
hardening and loss of elasticity of the artery wall
a type of artery desease characterized by hardening of the arteries
A disease process, commonly called hardening of the arteries, which includes a variety of conditions that cause artery walls to thicken and lose elasticity
A group of blood vessel diseases that produce loss of wall elasticity, wall weakening, and lumen narrowing
The change in arteries that causes them to become blocked
Abnormal thickening and hardening of the walls of the arteries, esp
commonly called "hardening of the arteries;" a variety of conditions caused by fatty or calcium deposits in the artery causing the walls them to thicken
hardening of the arteries
A group of diseases in which the walls of the arteries get thick and hard In one type of arteriosclerosis, fat builds up inside the walls and slows the blood flow These diseases often occur in people who have had diabetes for a long time See also: Atherosclerosis
used interchangeably with the term atherosclerosis: to describe a condition affecting the arteries
A pathological condition characterized by thickening of the arterial walls with consequent loss of elasticity and lessened blood flow A common form of this disease is Atherosclerosis, in which fatty substances form a deposit of plaque on the inner lining of arterial walls
sclerosis of the arterial walls
of the intima, occurring mostly in old age
{i} chronic disease characterized by hardening and thickening of the arterial walls
arteriosclerosis obliterans
a stage of arteriosclerosis involving closure of blood vessels
