How doesarteriosclerotic heart disease develope?

It comes over time from the deposition of oxidized cholesterol in the walls of the arteries. It's chief cause is a diet that does not provide the nutrients to enable the liver to produce enough lecithin nor adequate antioxidants to keep the cholesterol from being oxidized. It can be reversed with proper diet and lifestyle changes. In the end the plaque formed in the blood vessels clogs them to the extent that the tissues and cells die for lack of oxygen and nutrients. In the narrowed vessels the risk of deadly blood clots is also greatly increased. Source(s): Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine - Murray & Pizzorno
