What Are Clogged Arteries?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
3. Causes
There are several potential factors that can contribute to clogged arteries. Among the most common is high levels of bad cholesterols which can contribute to fatty buildups on the blood vessels. People with diabetes are also more likely to develop the condition.
Smoking has also been shown to contribute to the condition, and not getting enough exercise will also increase somebody’s risk. Obesity and a poor diet overall are other contributing factors, while the condition also tends to run in families. If you are in a high-risk group then you should do what you can to keep yourself safe.
