Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries. it causes hardening of the arterial walls due to fatty substances clogging up and cutting off blood flow to parts of the body. Hardening of the arteries is generally called arteriosclerosis; but atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis that is caused only by fatty substances (made mostly out of cholesterol from animal fat) blocking blood flow through arteries. Atherosclerosis is a slow progressing disease because it takes a very long time (usually decades) to have consumed enough cholesterol to entirely block bloodflow in an artery.
