No, plaque and fat are not the same. Plaque refers to the buildup of substances, including cholesterol, fatty deposits, and cellular waste, that can accumulate in the arteries and lead to cardiovascular issues. Fat, on the other hand, is a type of nutrient and energy source found in the body and diet, typically in the form of triglycerides. While both can be related in terms of cardiovascular health, they are distinct entities.

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.

What is body plaque?

Body plaque typically refers to the accumulation of substances, such as fat, cholesterol, and cellular debris, in the arteries, which can lead to atherosclerosis. This condition narrows the arteries and restricts blood flow, increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. Additionally, "plaque" can also refer to dental plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and can lead to cavities and gum disease. It's essential to manage and prevent plaque buildup through a healthy lifestyle.


What difference between dental plaque and bacterial plaque?

Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol , calcium, and other substances found in the blood. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis. Plaque narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow to your heart muscle. It also makes it more likely that blood clots will form in your arteries. Blood clots can partially or completely block blood flow.:) I'm not sure if that's the right plaque, but it's a plaque...
