Detailed explanation-1: -Over time, high cholesterol leads to plaque buildup inside your blood vessels. This plaque buildup is called atherosclerosis. People with atherosclerosis face a higher risk of many different medical conditions. That’s because your blood vessels do important work all throughout your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood lipids (fats) that contain cholesterol include low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL (’bad’) cholesterol can lead to plaque forming in the arteries while HDL (’good’) cholesterol helps to remove cholesterol from the body and makes it harder for plaque to form in the arteries.
Detailed explanation-3: -Atherosclerosis develops slowly as cholesterol, fat, blood cells and other substances in your blood form plaque. When the plaque builds up, it causes your arteries to narrow. This reduces the supply of oxygen-rich blood to tissues of vital organs in the body. Normal artery and an artery with plaque buildup.
