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.
這種情況發生的最常見原因是在心髒或腦部供血血琯內壁上堆積有脂肪層。
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博士說，進一步惡化的結果是稱之爲血斑的脂肪沉積開始積累、破裂、剝落，最後形成導致心髒病發作的血栓。
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.
這是因爲血琯的彈性變差，而靜脈會硬化或因爲攝取過多的飽和脂肪導致脂肪沉積在冠狀動脈而堵塞。

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).
