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.
If the disease develops in the arteries supplying blood to the heart, a heart attack can occur. Atherosclerosis If the cause of arteriosclerosis (hardening of arterial wall) is caused by the buildup of plaque within the arteries, then the condition is called atherosclerosis. Plaque consists of several types of molecules including fat, cholesterol, calcium, fibrin and waste products from cellular processes.
