The plaques of atherosclerosis cause the three main kinds of cardiovascular disease 1  : Coronary artery disease: Stable plaques in the heart's arteries cause angina (chest pain on exertion). 2  Sudden plaque rupture and clotting causes heart muscle to die. 3  This is a heart attack, or myocardial infarction.laques from atherosclerosis can behave in different ways. 1  They can stay within the artery wall. 2  There, the plaque grows to a certain size and stops. 3  Since this plaque doesn't block blood flow, it may never cause symptoms. 4  Plaque can grow in a slow, controlled way into the path of blood flow.
Arteriosclerosis, a general term that refers to the hardening and thickening of the arteries, is responsible for the majority of deaths in the United States. The most common type is atherosclerosis; other types include focal calcific arteriosclerosis, arteriosclerosis obliterans, and arteriolosclerosis. All forms of arteriosclerosis are characterized by a buildup in the arteries -- whether of plaque or calcium.
