deposit that forms within the wall of an artery. It begins as fatty streaks that are accumulations of white blood cells that have taken up low density lipoproteins (LDLs). The streaks can enlarge to form an irregular patch‚ or atheromatous plaque. Atheromatous plaques most commonly occur in larger arteries and are made up of deposits of cholesterol‚ fibres and dead muscle cells. They bulge into the lumen of the artery‚ causing it to narrow so that the blood flow through it is reduced. •

million people a year‚ this disease occurs when there is a buildup of plaque in the myocardium and in the coronary arteries which makes the artery rigid‚ stopping blood flow‚ which also can stop oxygen flow killing vital organs. After a while the plaque in the heart could rupture causing a heart attack and sudden cardiac death. The plaque can start building up at a young age and as you get older it will build and keep going‚ but the plaque itself will release chemicals that will make blood vessels sticky
