∙ 11y agoCholesterol is a type of fat. Your body uses it to carry other fat from the liver to cells to be used for fuel or to fat cells for storage. It uses it to carry fat from fat cells to other cells. Your body also burns cholesterol. It is quite useful.
However, if your body gets too much cholesterol, it stores it in your arteries. Then a big clump of cholesterol can break off. It can travel until it clogs a smaller artery. If the smaller artery is in your heart, that is called a heart attack. If it is in your head, it is called a stroke. If it is in your leg, it is phlebitis. So, the name of the disease depends on where the big clog of fat clogs the artery and kills the tissue served by that artery.
