Hardening of the arteries ather- condition
This is atherosclerosis.
Hardening of the arteries occurs when plaque builds up on the inner lining and restricts blood and oxygen flow. This can result in heart attack, peripheral diseases, and stroke.
Hardening of the arteries is bad as it decreases blood flow and limits the amount of oxygen in the body. It can lead to heart attacks and strokes when pieces of plaque break off and block the passages.
You might be referring to arteriosclerosis, which is a cardiovascular disease that affects the arteries of the body. Sometimes it is also called hardening of the arteries.
Hardening of the arteries can create serious side effects such as strokes, heart attacks, and high blood pressure. Some of the causes of atherosclerosis include hereditary, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity.
All exterior, mid and internal layers. We dont say hardening, better we call Reduction of elasticity of the arteries and arteroles, With ageing, changes occur, so there is shortage of elasin and collagen fibers in the endothelial layers
Your arteries are lined with smooth muscle tissues that regulate blood flow by contracting to decease the diameter of the arteries. This in turn causes the pressure and flow of blood to increase or stay the same if the heart is pumping faster. The hardening is cause by smooth muscle tissue becoming hard after constant stress. It is typical cause by being overweight because the heart and arteries have to work harder to pump blood all over the body.
