If this atheroma is allowed to build up in the coronary arteries <\/a>(the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart) the individual affected is likely to develop coronary heart disease which can eventually cause heart attack<\/a> and angina says doctor Dalal Akoury MD and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center.
