As these plaques or thickened secretions develop and hardened‚ the progress of Atherosclerosis causes even more serious problems in the cardiovascular system‚ such as heart attack and stroke. Plaques can also break‚ creating blood clots‚ which completely block an artery and can be very fatal. Damage to the heart muscles can disrupt the function of the organ. This is confirmed by the research study made by Centers for Disease Control which
