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)
