Can
High Cholesterol Lead to a Heart Attack?
It is often
found the buildup of cholesterol narrows your arteries
and makes it harder for blood to flow through them.
It reduces the amount of blood that gets to your body
tissues, including your heart. This can lead to serious
problems, including heart attack and stroke.
During
dense plaque formation ,the buildup may crack or tear
resulting blood to clot in that area. This blood clot
condition is called thrombus.In this condition if
blood clotting is large enough to fully block the
artery that happens to be in one of your heart's arteries,
called the coronary arteries, it causes a
heart attack. A heart attack is also called
a myocardial infarction.
