How does high cholesterol affect your cardiovascular system.

Now I will try explain how high cholesterol influences on our heart. At first the endothel (slender internal layer that covers the walls of veins) becomes injured and irritated. This process can be entailed by a lot of different reasons: high blood pressure, a lot of stress situations, scanty nourishment, poisonous substances, smoking and so on.

In consequence of inflammation, endothel begins to invite such kind of unnecessary fatty particles like cholesterin. Most of them are going to their direction and the sediment of cholesterol can be attacked by free radicals in order to create oxidated LDL cholesterol.
When immune system notices the irritable object it begins to extract special material that makes the endothel more adhesive. Al these processes create special cells – macrophagocytes, which pursue the aim to find and annihilate any foreign matter. Furthermore oxidated LDL is poison for macrophagocytes and because of that macrophagocytes cannot come back to the blood currant after completion of their work.

The leukocytes that are moving into veins also become immobilized by the same token acidized LDL. These white cells together with macrophagocytes continue to form so called "fatty streak" in the wall of artery.

Then this streak begins to attract C.R.P., antithrombin, leukocytes, elastin and collagen that at the end create tight, stringy capsule over the fatty stripe. After that the producing of dead cells commenced under the stringy capsule; cells rot and egest matter.

So now you know how the dangerous plate creation happens inside your veins. Top it off, the plate can persist to increase and produce many new additional plates. Together these plates or plaques can significantly constrict your veins, abate blood flow and cause the cardiac accident.
