Arteriosclerosis Obliterative

Obliterating arteriosclerosis is a chronic disease of the arteries, in which the vessels lose their elasticity and strength, which leads to a decrease in blood flow and disruption of tissue nutrition. This disease can occur at any age, but is most often seen in people over 50 years of age.

Arteriosclerotic changes can develop in many places in the body, such as in the coronary arteries that run the length of the heart or in the arteries of a person's legs. If these arteries are damaged or too narrow, then blood cannot reach peripheral tissues at the desired level. The greater the proportion of narrowed arteries, the higher the risk of developing symptoms of the disease. This explains the various symptoms of arteriosclerosis obliterans. Clinically isolated
