Diet And Cardiovascular disease

By: Jeremy Clark, Megan Windland, and Tiana NaterSlide2

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

.Slide3
