Hardening of the arteries and narrowing of the arteries are same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes - sort of: These are terms for atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis. This disease causes the walls of blood vessels to thick and develop what we call plaques. Eventually it can lead to narrowing of the arteries.
