  1. arteriosclerosis

    Arteriosclerosis is a medical condition characterized by the thickening and hardening of the arteries - the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body. This condition can lead to severe health problems, including heart attack, stroke, or even death, as it restricts the flow of blood to organs and tissues. It is most often caused by unhealthy habits like poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, or diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure.

    Arteriosclerosis refers to a thickening and hardening of arteries. Arteriosclerosis is a general term describing any hardening of medium or large arteries. It should not be confused with "atherosclerosis," which is a specific form of arteriosclerosis caused by the build up of fatty plaques in the artery. Arteriosclerosis has also been called "myoconditis," but this term is no longer in general use.
