I) LDLC (bad cholesterol) goes into artery walls
II) Cells 'eat' LDLC and are absorbed into the artery wall
III) Plaque forms as the body creates a fibrous layer to protect
IV) Arteries narrow as the elastic layer can't stretch
V) Calcium deposits reduce the ability to widen the artery
VI) Plaque can rupture and cause a blood clot, or grows and completely blocks the artery
