Slide 3.2

• Build up of fatty deposits on under skin and in arteries

Fatty Deposit

Coronary Artery: a heart artery

Fatty Deposit

Knees and Fingers

• Very high cholesterol in blood

• Chest pain and heart attacks at a young age

Slide 3.3

Fatty Deposit

Fatty Deposits In Coronary Artery

Cross Section of Coronary Artery

• Artery wall injured by toxins from smoking, high blood pressure• Arteries harden and narrow due to fat accumulation• Blood flow is reduced• Oxygen supply to heart reduced• Can cause chest pain heart attack or death in severe cases
