What is Arteriosclerosis?

Arteriosclerosis is a disease of the arterial wall in which the layer thickens, causing narrowing of the channel and thus, impairing blood flow. Arteriosclerosis can occur in any area of the body, but is most important when it happens in the heart, brain or blood vessels leading to the brain. The narrowing is due to the formation of plaques (raised patches) in the inner lining of the arteries. These plaques consist of low-density lipoproteins, decaying muscle cells, fibrous tissue, and clumps of blood platelets, cholesterol, and sometimes calcium. They tend to form in regions of turbulent blood flow and are found most often in people with high concentrations of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

Causes of Arteriosclerosis

The exact cause of Arteriosclerosis isn't known. However, studies show that Arteriosclerosis is a slow, complex disease that may start in childhood. It develops faster as you age.

Arteriosclerosis may start when certain factors damage the inner layers of the arteries. These factors include:

Smoking

High amounts of certain fats and cholesterol in the blood

High blood pressure

High amounts of sugar in the blood due to insulin resistance or diabetes

Who Is At Risk for Arteriosclerosis?

Coronary heart disease (Arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries) is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. The exact cause of atherosclerosis isn't known. However, certain traits, conditions, or habits may raise your risk for the disease. These conditions are known as risk factors. Your chances of developing Arteriosclerosis increase with the number of risk factors you have.

You can control most risk factors and help prevent or delay Arteriosclerosis. Other risk factors can't be controlled.

Symptoms of Arteriosclerosis

Unfortunately, Arteriosclerosis produces no symptoms until the damage to the arteries is severe enough to restrict blood flow. Restriction of blood flow to the heart muscle due to Arteriosclerosis can cause angina pectoris or a myocardial infarction (a heart attack). Restriction of blood flow to the muscles of the legs causes intermittent claudication (pains in the legs brought about by walking and relieved by rest).

Narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the brain may cause transient ischemic attacks (symptoms and signs of a stroke lasting less than 24 hours) and episodes of dizziness, or ultimately, to a stroke itself.

Treatment for Arteriosclerosis

Early preventive care for people at high risk for Arteriosclerosis is essential to reducing the risk of heart attack and maintaining good health. Creating a personalized program involves:

Cardiology consultation

The patient meets with a cardiologist who specializes in preventive assessment of cardiovascular risk and treating novel risk factors. This includes reviewing test results and recommending therapies, preventive measures, lifestyle changes, as well as assessing the patient's suitability for clinical studies of new treatments.

Novel Risk Factor Management

A patient may have novel risk factors with or without having other conventional risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure. Treatment options will depend on what risk factors the patient has. For managing novel risk factors, the therapies may involve increasing daily intake of folate and other B vitamins or omega-3 fatty acids, participating in appropriate clinical studies of new treatments, or monitoring closely to determine if other risk factors for heart disease develop.

Coordinated care

Patients can follow their treatment program through Mayo Clinic or through the clinic of their choice. Mayo Clinic will coordinate with the patient's primary care physician to share findings and recommendations and ensure a coordinated, individualized, long-term approach to the patient's cardiovascular health.

Percutaneous angioplasty

Coronary (percutaneous) angioplasty is a common medical procedure used to treat narrowings in the arteries that supply blood to the heart.

Surgery

Surgery may be needed for coronary and peripheral vascular diseases. Procedures that may be required are coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and peripheral vascular bypass surgery.

Prevention

The following lifestyle changes can help prevent Arteriosclerosis:

Eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol, and low-salt diet.

Eat fish. Adding fish to the diet at least twice a week has been shown to be helpful. Do not fry the fish, as this destroys the benefit.

If you don't like to eat fish, try a fish oil supplement.

Exercise 30 minutes every day. If you are overweight, you should get 60 - 90 minutes of exercise a day.

Lose weight if you are overweight.

Stop smoking.

Mild to moderate consumption of alcohol or wine (1-2 drinks per day) may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Too much alcohol, however, does more harm than good.

If you have one or more risk factors for heart attack or stroke, ask your doctor if you should take aspirin every day. Aspirin can help some people reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Work with your doctor to bring your blood pressure into the normal range. This may require medication. Follow your doctor's recommendations for treating and controlling diabetes and other diseases.
