Arteriolosclerosis
Classification and external resources
MeSH	D050379

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]
