The role of plaque formation in the arteries during heart disease development are the causes of heart attacks. Cholesterol plaques form through the process of "atherosclerosis" or also known as the hardening of the arteries. Plaques develop in the wall of the arteries, which results to blocked arteries, which results less blood flow or blood does not even flow through the blocked artery or arteries.
