Effects Of Cholesterol and Related Health Conditions

When there is too much cholesterol in the blood it can cause damage to the arteries. The waxy substance can build up along artery walls and cause the arteries to become narrow and hardened. Diseases of the arteries due to uncontrolled cholesterol can lead to more serious heart diseases and even death.

Failure to lower cholesterol can take years to harm the body. Someone with high cholesterol may feel just fine too. The impact of high cholesterol sometimes cannot be seen until one suffers a heart attack or stroke.
