Negative Effects of Cardiovascular disease
Eating foods that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol may cause plaque to form on artery walls.
Atherosclerosis
– a disease in which there is a build up of plaque on artery walls.
When a person has
atherosclerosis
, the diameter of the artery becomes
narrow
. Blood pressure increases because blood is flowing through a narrower opening in the artery. Pressure may rupture the plaque causing a
blood clot
that blocks the artery or that breaks off, circulates in the bloodstream.
Embolism
– the blockage of an artery by a clump of material traveling in the bloodstream.
If the blockage is in an artery in the
brain
, a person could have a
stroke
. If the blockage is in an artery in the
heart
, a
heart attack
could occur. A blockage in the
lung
is called a
pulmonary embolism
