Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis that involves the build-up of plaque, comprised of fats, cholesterol, and other substances, in the arteries. Anterosclerosis is not a medical term and may be a misspelling or error. If you are referring to arteriosclerosis, this is a more general term used to describe the thickening and hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is a common type of arteriosclerosis.
