Atherosclerosis occurs mostly in the arteries, but rarely in the veins. This is attributed to differences in the anatomical structure of arteries and veins
Atherosclerosis is thickening or hardening of the arteries caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. Risk factors may include high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical activity, and eating saturated fats.
The most common cause of high cholesterol is an unhealthy lifestyle. This includes unhealthy eating habits, such as eating lots of bad fats. One type, saturated fat, is found in some meats, dairy products, chocolate, baked goods, and deep-fried and processed foods
LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, is sometimes called 'bad cholesterol'. It carries cholesterol that can stick to arteries, collect in the vessel lining forming plaque, and sometimes block blood flow. HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is sometimes called 'good cholesterol'
