Arteriolosclerosis is a form of cardiovascular disease affecting the small arteries and arterioles.
Types include hyaline arteriolosclerosis and hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis,[1] both associated with vessel wall thickening and luminal narrowing that may cause downstream ischemic injury. Arteriolosclerosis is most often associated with hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus.[2]
