Nonatheromatous Arteriosclerosis
Key Points
Nonatheromatous arteriosclerosis causes thickening and loss of elasticity of the arterial wall in the absence of obvious atheromatous plaque. There are two variants of nonatheromatous arteriosclerosis: arteriolosclerosis and Mönckeberg arteriosclerosis. Diabetes, hypertension and age are risk factors for the development of nonatheromatous arteriosclerosis.
