It certainly can. My dad died 26 years ago from this disease he was 43. We didn't know he had it until thet did the autopsy! He had it apparently since being little. There were many warning signs but as it wasn't as well known back then obviously the doctors didn't spot it. He was told his heart was fine, which in a way was true as it waere his arteries that were blocked.

What does atherosclerosis cause inside the arteries?
It clogs the arteries which allows less blood to flow through that narrow space. This eventually causes a blood clot which may be fatal.
What can massage do to someone with atherosclerosis and why is it contraindicated?
Atherosclerosis is associated with hardening of the arteries and plaque deposits. It can also involve blood clots, which are called thrombi. The danger lies in the possibility of dislodging a blood clot, which can be fatal. A gentle non-circulatory may be helpful to make them feel better, but it would be wise to get clearance from a doctor before proceeding.
Is Atherosclerosis genetic?
Atherosclerosis is often found in clusters in families. Atherosclerosis is a thickening of the artery walls as a result of an invasion and accumulation of white cells.
Heart attakcs strokes atherosclerosis are problems of what systems?
Heart attacks are cardiovascular, strokes and atherosclerosis are neural.
What is the difference between coronary arteries and arteries?
Arteriosclerosis is any hardening (stiffening) of artery walls. One of the ways this can happen is through atherosclerosis, which is when an atheroma (a build-up of dead RBCs, fibres and platelets) begins to accumulate within an artery wall and may stick out into the lumen or even break through the endothelium. This makes the artery less flexible.So someone with arteriosclerosis does not necessarily have atherosclerosis, but someone with atherosclerosis must have arteriosclerosis, as their arteries have hardened.

How does atherosclerosis begin?
It seems that atherosclerosis begins with tiny tears at stressed places in the walls of the arteries
