Not if it is done gradually and properly under medical supervision. To release small amounts of fats into the bloodstream (when the fat melts) is no problem, the body will filter that out. However, to release into the bloodstream high amount of fats suddenly, can cause a cardiovascular problem.
They are both blockages in the arteries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, that ultimately cause irreversible damage to either the heart or brain.
Yes, as these can cause clots that can break off and block blood flow to the heart muscle (heart attack), lungs (pulmonary emboli) or the brain (stroke).
A heart attack
Yes.Because the arteries in the heart are cloggedA stroke is a disruption of the blood supply to the brain can cause part of the brain not to function. A heart attack is an interruption of the blood supply to the heart due to for example, blockage of artery leading to the heart. Causes heart cells to die.
This means there is plaque in the aorta from atherosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries." The usual causes are: smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, diet high in saturated fats, family history of premature heart disease and age. If there is calcification in the aorta it probably means there is calcification, or at least plaque elsewhere in the body. The heart, the carotid arteries and the leg arteries. These can lead to heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease, respectively.
Stroke, Heart Attack.
Heart attack, or stroke.
They are both blockages in the arteries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, that ultimately cause irreversible damage to either the heart or brain.
The nervous system, especially the brain is linked to strikes. A stroke on the heart is called a heart attack. The small arteries that bring blood to the brain (or heart) lose blood flow and the cells that it feeds die.
Hardening of the arteries occurs when plaque builds up on the inner lining and restricts blood and oxygen flow. This can result in heart attack, peripheral diseases, and stroke.

People who have atherosclerosis have lipid deposits or fat in their arteries. The fat makes carrying blood to the cells of the body difficult. You may have a heart attack or stroke depending on which artery is clogged.
Atherosclerosis is the condition in which fatty deposits collect on the walls of the arteries. These deposits may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
The negative affects of clogged arteries include coronary artery disease, carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease and increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Yes, as these can cause clots that can break off and block blood flow to the heart muscle (heart attack), lungs (pulmonary emboli) or the brain (stroke).
By definition a stroke affects the brain by blocking small arteries that carry blood to the cells and deliver nutrients and oxygen. These become blocked and the cells that the artery is leading to, die. A similar thing happens when arteries to the heart muscle cells that are blocked causing a heart attack.
Yes. And to other parts of the body as well. As plaque builds up, the arteries narrow, blood pressure builds. The chance of heart attack and stroke increases the more the arteries narrow.
