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.
The cells responsible for creating calcium build-up in vessel walls - resulting in heart disease - have now been identified in a new study published in PLOS Biology. Atherosclerosis - or hardening of the arteries - is the main cause of heart disease. It occurs because of calcium build-up in the blood vessels - resulting in hard and narrow arteries. This then leads to problems such as blood flow obstruction and heart issues. Several factors have been known to contribute to the risk of atherosclerosis, however, the cause is not yet known and as of now there is no way to change it once it occurs.
