fatty deposits

基本解释

The most common reason for this is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain.
这种情况发生的最常见原因是在心脏或脑部供血血管内壁上堆积有脂肪层。
The progressive result is an accumulation of fatty deposits called plaque that can rupture or have their caps shear off, causing clots that lead to heart attacks.
Donohue博士说，进一步恶化的结果是称之为血斑的脂肪沉积开始积累、破裂、剥落，最后形成导致心脏病发作的血栓。
This is because blood vessels become less elastic, while arteries can harden or become blocked because of fatty deposits forming on the coronary arteries - caused by eating too much saturated fat.
这是因为血管的弹性变差，而静脉会硬化或因为摄取过多的饱和脂肪导致脂肪沉积在冠状动脉而堵塞。

This constant low-level overproduction of leukotrienes, DeCode researchers figure, inflames artery walls, over time helping destabilize fatty deposits and making them prone to sudden rupture.

The good news is that there is also a CT scan available to detect fatty deposits that constitute soft plaque, called a Coronary CT Angiography (CTA).
