Yes, I'm positive this acronym is only used for this term. Atherosclerosis begins in childhood and progresses slowly into adulthood as you can see here:

Ateroesclerosis coronaria


Explanation:
Looks like this report is mainly related to cardiology, so this could be the acronym for "Atherosclerotic Coronary Disease", "ateroesclerosis coronaria" in Spanish.

Dear FlyHi,
Yes, I am quite sure this acronym means "Atherosclerotic Coronary Disease" because, although it may seem strange, this desease may begin in childhood. Hope it helps!
