Answer:

Heart disease is caused because of the need of healthy fats for energy and other functions. But too much saturated fat can cause cholesterol to build up in your arteries (blood vessels). Saturated fats raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Answer:

excess saturated fats and cholesterol build up in the walls of coronary arteries

this reduces the elasticity of the artery walls and reduces the lumen diameter

clots (thrombus) can form

blood pressure increases

sufficient amounts of oxygenated blood cant reach the heart muscle and provide it with enough oxygen and glucose for respiration

less respiration in heart muscle, so less energy released

heart muscle cant contract easily, so cant pump blood easily/efficiently

can lead to a heart attack (or cardiac arrest)

hope it helps
