Answer:

Atherosclerosis is the build up of plagues which contain fat and cholesterol.

High cholesterol level is known as one of the main causes of atherosclerosis. Increase in plasma cholesterol levels results in changes of the arterial endothelial permeability that allow the migration of lipids, especially Low density lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) particles, into the arterial wall. This blockage or deceased permeability is the main trigger for atherosclerosis.
