Continuation :

I`ll give some more explanation of arteriosclerosis (also for students).

Arteriosclerosis is sometimes confused with atherosclerosis.

Arterio sclerosis is usually associated with degenerative arterial changes of the advancing age which include middle-aged and elderly people. Medium and large blood vessels are mainly involved.

Atherosclerosis, however, is a condition which principally affects the aorta, large arteries and the certain medium-sized vessels particularly the coronary and cerebral arteries. The obstruction not only involves the atheroma (related to cholesterol in blood) but also the thrombosis at the site.
