Many Issues-SortOut: From us autopsy studies starting >7 decades ago, arterial ds typically begins age 7, no symptoms for decades because arteries enlarge at plaque location, not shrink. Eventual problems from plaque rupture ; clots. Cholesterol made by every animal cell; not correct issue. Correct issues are lipoprotein concentrations, LDL vs. Hdl, esp. Large HDL which removes fats from cells needing to unload.
