Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
These findings are stigmata of a past disease. It doesn't show an active disease and there is no reason to be worried about this.
For the artheriosclerosis, I will suggest that your doctor does your blood lipids to see if there is need for treatment.
I hope this clarifies your worries. I wish you well. If you have any further worries, kindly report to me.
