Plaque development, whether in the context of oral health or within the arteries, represents a significant yet often
underestimated threat to overall well-being. This article sheds light on the diverse nature of plaque, with a specific focus
on arterial plaque, its origins, and the profound health consequences it can yield. From cholesterol accumulation to
endothelial dysfunction, several factors contribute to plaque formation. The consequences of arterial plaque are farreaching,
including coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, aneurysms, and heart failure. However,
through the adoption of a heart-healthy lifestyle, regular monitoring, and medical interventions when necessary,
individuals can mitigate the risk and manage the effects of plaque buildup. Understanding this silent danger is essential
for proactive health maintenance and disease prevention.
