High cholesterol constricts the arteries and high blood pressure causes the heart work harder to circulate the blood throughout the body. Artherosclerosis is an actual hardening of the arteries, making the circulation slow down and the plaque buildup can migrate into the bloodstream causing a heart attack or anurism. If this condition is untreated it can be fatal very quickly.
