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.
Atherosclerosis can lead to blood clots, heart attack and stroke.

Atherosclerosis predisposes a person to many different types of disease such as coronary artery disease, peripeheral arterial disease, mesenteric ischemia, and ischemic stroke to name some of the heavy hitters. These are all dangerous diseases that can be lethal.
Myocardial infarction
Plaque (which can lead to atherosclerosis).
It can lead to a heart attack.
High cholesterol itself is not a direct cause of double vision. However, high cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis, which can affect blood flow to the eye and other parts of the body. Double vision can be a symptom of conditions like stroke, diabetes, or nerve damage that may be associated with atherosclerosis from high cholesterol.
