Majority of the time it's the opposite way around. Atherosclerosis may cause strokes and heart attacks. Atherosclerosis by definition is hardening of the arteries. Blood clots, which cause strokes and heart attacks, can become stuck in the arteries due to the hardening and plaque build up. I do not believe cardiovascular disease causes or is caused by atherosclerosis.
