Is plaque build up a coronary heart disease?

it is a build up of plaque in the arteries, therefore it is non infectious
What is cadiovascular disease?
A cardiovascular disease, is to do with your heart and blood vessels, AKA arteries and veins.
What heart disease is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries.?
Coronary Heart disease caused by atherosclerosis or the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries.
What do cigarettes do to your heart?
It can cause atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to plaque build-up), and increase your risk of coronary heart disease. The nicotine in cigarettes causes decreased oxygen to the heart muscle, increases blood pressure (hypertension) and it damages the heart wall tissue.
What heart disease is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries?
Heart disease typically does not cause fatty deposits in the arteries. Rather the process is the other way around: an unhealthy diet high in fat and cholesterol causes a build up of fatty deposits, and these deposits lead to heart diseases such as Coronary Heart Disease.
What Is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build up of fatty deposits in the arteries.?
Coronary Heart disease caused by atherosclerosis or the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries.

Can being non healthy cause a heart attack?
Not practicing healthy methods of living can cause a heart attack if the individual is not taking care of themselves. Eating a poor diet and not exercising can cause plaque to build in the arteries, restricting the blood flow to the heart.
What substance can build up in arteries and lead to heart disease?
Fat (cholesterol). Atherosclerosis, or stiffening of the arteries, can cause build-up of fat inside the blood vessel walls, and the fat can become inflamed and calcified. This is called a calcified plaque. If the plaque gets vulnerable, the top of the plaque may rupture and the inside fat comes in contact with the circulating blood. This causes an immediate blood clot. If the plaque is in the coronary arteries, and if the blood clot blocks the coronary arteries, the result is a heart attack.
How can your diet make us have heart disease?
Diet is actually a main cause of heart disease. If you consume animal-based products and processed foods, there are a wide range of harmful effects on the body. One of those effects is the buildup of plaque in your coronary arteries. If this plaque builds up too much it can cause enough blockage to stop blood flow to the heart. Fortunately, heart disease can be reversed through diet. Doctors such as Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. Baxter Montgomery have written books explaining how this can be done.
How does eating fatty foods affect ones risk of developing heart disease?
Fatty foods lead to a buildup of plaque in the blood vessels and arteries which can cause blood clots leading to heart disease
