Persistent high blood pressure damages the lining of the arteries, in order to repair the damage cholesterol is deposited at the site of damage but this results in the build up of plague over time. The plague hardens the arteries and also causes narrowing. This process leads to atherosclerosis which eventually leads to coronary heart disease.
I think you mean 'plaque'... with a 'q'... don't write 'plague', its something entirely different.
