Many factors can increase one's risk for heart, or cardiovascular, disease. Although there are different types of heart disease, "atherosclerosis" usually refers to damage done to the heart or blood vessels. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of heart disease. Lack of exercise, smoking, diabetes and being overweight can all lead to atherosclerosis. A poor diet, meaning a diet that is high in fat, sugar and salt, can also lead to atherosclerosis. Poor diet and lack of exercise are the two main risk factors for atherosclerosis and, therefore, cardiovascular disease.

Several of the MANY side effects of steroid use do include Cardiovascular disease by an increase of LDL, or bad cholesterol, and a decrease of HDL (the good cholesterol). High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors associated to heart attacks and CVD.
Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of death and smoking is a large risk factor for it so smokers with atherosclerosis are at high risk. Some will get lucky and live for decades and some have died in the time it took me to type this response.
Risk factors are the variables that could increase or decrease the likelihood or severity of an activity, disease or venture. One normally would consider the risk factors when considering what to do in any given situation.
Atherosclerosis can cause hypertension because it narrows the blood vessels (similar to vasoconstriction). Vasoconstriction can cause hypertension because it increases pressure and force in the vessels.
