A member asked:
Can you tell me is hardening of the arteries called arteriosclerosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Old term: 'arteriosclerosis' isn't used in mainstream medicine nowadays. It's a blanket term for atherosclerosis (our most serious disease), monckeberg's (basically a non-problem) and several situations in which smaller arteries have thickened walls.
