Atherosclerosis is thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. Risk factors may include high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical activity, and eating saturated fats.
Arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body (arteries) become thick and stiff — sometimes restricting blood flow to your organs and tissues.
Atherosclerosis -- sometimes called hardening of the arteries -- can slowly narrow the arteries throughout your body. When atherosclerosis affects arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle, it's called coronary artery disease, or CAD.
Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis. It happens when plaque, cholesterol, and fatty substances build up in your arteries and cause them to narrow. This buildup can lead to an artery blockage that disrupts blood flow. Atherosclerosis is a slow and gradual disease, but it can worsen quickly.
The three main types of arteriosclerosis include:Atherosclerosis: In this type, the large arteries are hardened and narrowed.Moenckeberg medial calcific sclerosis: The hardening of small to medium-sized arteries.Arteriolosclerosis: The calcification of small arteries.More items...
Arteriosclerosis is a broader term for the condition in which the arteries narrow and harden, leading to poor circulation of blood throughout the body. Atherosclerosis is a specific kind of arteriosclerosis, but these terms are often used interchangeably.
Depending on the results of the physical exam, your doctor may suggest one or more tests, including:Blood tests. ... Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). ... Exercise stress test. ... Echocardiogram. ... Doppler ultrasound. ... Ankle-brachial index (ABI). ... Cardiac catheterization and angiogram. ... Coronary calcium scan.More items...•
Atherogenesis can be divided into five key steps, which are 1) endothelial dysfunction, 2) formation of lipid layer or fatty streak within the intima, 3) migration of leukocytes and smooth muscle cells into the vessel wall, 4) foam cell formation and 5) degradation of extracellular matrix.

Atherosclerosis represents a grave health problem, annually accounting for at least 30% of all deaths globally (Figure 51-1 ). It is associated with a poor prognosis and significantly reduces life expectancy in the 60-year-old patient by 8–12 years depending on the vascular event.
Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and exercising, are the first treatment for atherosclerosis — and may be all that you need to treat your atherosclerosis. But sometimes, medication or surgical procedures may be needed.
Atherosclerosis can affect most of the arteries in the body, including arteries in the heart, brain, arms, legs, pelvis, and kidneys.
Over time, cad can also weaken the heart muscle and contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias. Heart failure means the heart can't pump blood well to the rest of the body. Arrhythmias are changes in the normal beating rhythm of the heart. Deposition of cholesterol and lipid in the inner layer of the blood vessel.
Arrhythmias are changes in the normal beating rhythm of the heart. Deposition of cholesterol and lipid in the inner layer of the blood vessel. Imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the coronary vessels to supply sufficient blood flow.
The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code. "In diseases classified elsewhere" codes are never permitted to be used as first listed or principle diagnosis codes. They must be used in conjunction with an underlying condition code and they must be listed following the underlying condition. code to identify:
peripheral arterial disease. These arteries are in your arms, legs and pelvis. When they are blocked, you can suffer from numbness, pain and sometimes infections. atherosclerosis usually doesn't cause symptoms until it severely narrows or totally blocks an artery.
