Healthy arteries are flexible and elastic, but over time, the walls in your arteries can harden, a condition commonly called hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis, but the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on your artery walls (plaques), which can restrict blood flow.
High blood pressure and inflammation contribute to the hardening. This process of arterial stiffening is called arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis in which fatty deposits called plaques build up in the arteries. The buildup of plaques can restrict blood flow through the arteries, causing disease in various parts of the body, including the heart and brain.
