Arteriosclerosis is often referred to as “hardening of the arteries.”

Arteriosclerosis is a condition in which fatty material such as cholesterol and fat accumulates or collects along the walls of arteries produces thickness and hardening with formation of plaques that narrows and blocks the arteries.

Arteriosclerosis occurs over a period of many years during which the arteries of the cardiovascular system develop areas which become hard and brittle. Vessels become thickened. There is a loss of elasticity. It can involve the arteries of the cardiovascular system, the brain, kidneys, upper and lower extremities. This occurs because of the deposition of calcium in their walls.

Arteriosclerosis vs Atherosclerosis

Arteriosclerosis differs from atherosclerosis, which involves the buildup of fatty deposits in the innermost lining of large and medium-sized arteries. Atherosclerosis often leads to coronary heart disease, strokes, and other disorders because of the occurrence of blood clots which form in the narrowed arteries; hardening of the arteries, on the other hand occur only in advanced stages.

  • Family history – people who have family history of heart disease or arteriosclerosis are at increased risk.
  • Race – risk of arteriosclerosis is among African is twice than in Caucasian

  • My self Rajib Paul from Kolkata, WB suffering from coronary artery disease since 2014. I had under gone the treatment in renowned ESI hospital in Kolkata ever since I had diagnosed with the said disease. But recently I am feeling a regular chest pain at the time of cycle, walking and while doing my other regular activities. For you ready reference I am attaching all my treatment documents like, ECG report, Angiographic report, Dr. Prescription, Blood test report etc. So, my request is if you could guide me by your valuable opinion and help me to overcome the situation that would be a blessing to me.

  • Hello, I had an aneurysm of the carotid artery a few years ago, and did a daily dosage of baby aspirin, which “healed” the artery. I’m starting to feel tightening in the artery again, and having headaches, and am worried about having another one. WHAT is a good homeopathic product that will help to strengthen my vascular system? My family has a strong history of vascular problems. Thank you in advance.

  • The problems disclosed here by writers are serious enough to see a consultant- either vascular surgeon or cardiologist. DO NOT look for homeopathic solution for such significant mechanical problems .It is unsafe and outright risky to your welbeing. GO to a stnadard hospital, get it properly looked in to,tested,diagnosed and solution ofsignificant mechanical block also is mechanical unblocking .Please be guided .

  • Dr. Arun Mehta, I noted with interest your post of 6 October 2020. With due respect, please kindly specify what qualifications, experience, and knowledge you have in homeopathy to disqualify its effectiveness? To throw a judgment without investigating first is more dangerous than taking pharmaceuticals with tons of side effects and undergoing invasive procedures. Please govern yourself with respect and due care. First, do NOT HARM. Remember your oath?

  • Dear Doctor Manisha

    I have read your excellent article on Arteriosclerosis. Thank you for helping suffering people. God bless you with happiness and long life.

  • My coronary calcium score is 269 out of 400; and my affected right artery score is 197. Cardiologist says that allopathy can not remove existing deposits.
    Is there a very good homeo medication that can remove or significantly lower the deposits?
    Kindly advise

  • Thank you for your work with Atherosclerosis. I have no symptoms. I had a coronary calcium score of 122 with 115 in LAD. My cholesterol has been around 200 so they did a research CT scan. Are there any homeopathic remedies I can use to help me keep the left anterior descending artery open. The scan indicated the LAD had calcium the whole length of the artery. (Windowmaker) I am an active, healthy 70 female Never smoked or used alcohol, 120lb. (was an Endoscopic nurse)
