The only similarity between these two conditions is that they effect the blood vessels. Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot and atherosclerosis is hardening of the arteries or blood vessels.

What is atherosclerosis and why is it a health risk?

Atherosclerosis is a disease where fatty deposits build up on the inside walls of arteries. It's a health risk because it restricts blood flow, and small objects such as blood clots from minor injuries can get stuck and block the artery, cutting off blood supply entirely to parts of the body "downstream" from the blockage. This is particularly dangerous to the heart (heart attack), lungs (thrombosis) and brain (stroke).
