Why
Does Plaque Matter?
The formation
of plaque in blood vessels with time narrows the space
in the artery due its thickness, thus making the blood
that carries oxygen and nutrients to flow at decreased
level.The plaque formation narrows the arteries and
may go on for years without causing any symptoms.
This condition
is often known as coronary heart disease and due to
lack of blood to heart one may feel chest pain or
no pain.This lack of symptoms is more common in people
who have diabetes. Even though there's no pain, damage
is still occurring. Doctors call this angina or angina
pectoris. Usually people feel the pain in their chest
or in their left arm and shoulder. Some people feel
pain in their back, neck, jaw, or teeth.
