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.
The negative affects of clogged arteries include coronary artery disease, carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease and increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Cardiovascular Disease is a disease of the heart and circulatory system, it can be caused by the coronary disease where the fat builds up and deposits on the walls in the coronary arteries and the narrows the wall.Heart; blood vessels
Coronary Heart disease caused by atherosclerosis or the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries.
It is a type of lipoprotein that protects against coronary artery disease by removing cholesterol deposits from arteries or preventing their formation
CAD, which stands for coronary artery disease, is an abnormal condition of the coronary arteries.

atherosclerosis is a condition where plaque builds up in your arteries. This can narrow the artery, reducing blood flow and oxygen perfusion. In the case of the coronary system this reduced perfusion can lead to chest pain or a heart attack. this condition can be worsened if the plaque build up ruptured. the body will respond to this by building a clot around the area, further reducing blood flow and oxygen. worst case scenario this will lead to an acute myocardial (AMI) causing cell death to cardiac muscle.
ANSWER:The clogging of the arteries is caused by several factors related to coronary artery disease when fatty deposits of cholesterol and other substances stick to the arterial walls and create plaque. In response to plaque build-up, cells in your artery walls multiply and secrete additional substances that can worsen the state of clogged arteries. As plaque deposits grow, a condition called atherosclerosis results. This condition causes the arteries to narrow and harden. Arterial plaque can reduce blood flow or, in some instances, block the artery. Clogged arteries greatly increase the likelihood of heart attack, stroke, and even death.
