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.
1 Peripheral artery disease is due to atherosclerosis. 2  This is a gradual process in which a fatty material builds up inside the arteries. 3  The fatty material mixes with calcium, scar tissues, and other substances and hardens slightly, forming plaques of arteriosclerosis.ther causes of peripheral vascular disease include the following: 1  Blood clot: A blood clot can block a blood vessel (thrombus/ emboli). 2  Diabetes: Over the long term, the high blood sugar level of persons with diabetes can damage blood vessels. 3  This makes the blood vessels more likely to become narrowed or weakened.
