Atherosclerosis is a disease of the large conduit arteries, characterized by a chronic inflammatory process. Primarily affected are the aorta, the carotids, the coronary arteries, the renal arteries, as well as the pelvic and leg vessels. However, atherosclerosis can affect all arteries of the systemic circulation and must fundamentally be regarded as a generalized disease.

Atherosclerosis is a disease of the large conduit arteries, characterized by a chronic inflammatory process.

However, atherosclerosis can affect all arteries of the systemic circulation and must fundamentally be regarded as a generalized disease.
