Hvad er Arteriosclerosis?

Arteriosclerosis refererer til en forstærkning af åreforkalkning.

Arteriosclerosis er en generel term, der beskriver eventuelle hærdning (og tab af elasticiteten) af mellemstore eller store arterier (fra den græske Arteriobetydning '' artery'' og sklerose, som betyder '' hærdning '')

Det bør ikke forveksles med "arteriolosclerosis" eller "atherosclerosis", som er beskrevet mere detaljeret nedenfor.

Også kendt under navnet "myoconditis", som er forældede og ikke længere generelt brug.
