Thickening and hardening of the artery walls.
In the human body, high levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream have been linked to atherosclerosis, and, by extension, the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Angina. Myocardial infarction. Cardiac failure. Valvular heart disease. Congenital heart disease. Cardiomyopathies.
When your diet is high in fat these fat then store in the blood vessels of the brain and cause them to loose their flexibility and burst easily. so nutritionally it is important to reduce fat intake to prevent atherosclerosis.
No, not at all unless your gums are infected and there not taken care of. That can cause more than just Heart Disease. That can cause Lung Disease and Mouth Cancer aswell.
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.
PAD most often occurs as a result of atherosclerosis
The cause of vertebrobasilar disease (VD) is atherosclerosis that affects the vertebrobasilar (posterior) circulation at intracranial (inside the cranium and includes the basilar artery) sites and extracranial.
Atherosclerosis is the usual cause of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease -- what together are called "cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in America, with more than 800,000 deaths in 2005.
a high fat diet can couse several Heart diseases.
Majority of the time it's the opposite way around. Atherosclerosis may cause strokes and heart attacks. Atherosclerosis by definition is hardening of the arteries. Blood clots, which cause strokes and heart attacks, can become stuck in the arteries due to the hardening and plaque build up. I do not believe cardiovascular disease causes or is caused by atherosclerosis.

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.
Low-density lipoprotein refers to LDL or bad cholesterol. This cholesterol can cause atherosclerosis (a form of heart disease) because it clogs arteries. It contains very little protein and a lot of cholesterol.
Atherosclerosis is generally treated through the use of the class of drugs known as statins. These are very safe by and large. However the underlying cause of the disease (High HDL fat) can be treated with diet and supplements...Basically certain types of vitamins.
No not really, it is mostly plaque buildup from cholesterol that causes atherosclerosis.

While many things can cause a goiter, a goiter and exophthalmos are symptoms of the autoimmune disease, Graves' disease.
