Cholesterol - Arteriosclerosis

I am studying the effects of cholesterol build up of fatty deposits in thearterial walls in general.

My investigations of various papers on arteriosclerosis seem to be focusedsolely only in the 3 major specialities of Heart, Cranium or Peripheralarteries.

Question..  I am right in assuming any fatty deposit in a major peripheral arteryis a reflection of the condition of all arteries, particularly the coronary orcranial arteries, or may it be selective?  

The literature I have searcheddoes not appear to refer to any correlation or that arthrosclerosis is evenlyor unevenly distributed.

Can anyone assist please?
