• How does having high cholesterol speed up this process?

Damage! I must help!

These LDLs must be the invaders that are

causing the inflammation!

• How can high blood pressure cause a stroke over time?

• How does having high cholesterol speed up this process?

Page 22: Healthy Eating for Healthy Blood Pressure

How can high blood pressure cause a stroke over time?

1. Damage to blood vessels

2. Macrophages come to “help”

3. Macrophages get sick on LDLs and get stuck in blood vessel walls (plaque)

4. The plaque gets large

5. After many months or years, the plaque can come loose and block blood vessels (stroke)

Page 23: Healthy Eating for Healthy Blood Pressure

How does high cholesterol speed up this process?

1. LDLs deliver more cholesterol to artery walls

2. More LDLs in the blood = fatter, sicker macrophages to form plaques

LDL

Blocked blood flow to brain, lungs, or heart
