The Risks of High Cholesterol 

When high level of fats exists in the blood, fats sink and accumulate on arterial walls, and oxygenate. Under this condition, called "arteriosclerosis", the arteries become narrower, until an actual blocking of blood flow may occur.

The complications depend on which arteries are narrowed or blocked. For example, narrowing of coronary blood vessels may cause a heart attack, and narrowing of the blood vessels supplying the brain may result in a stroke.
