The exact cause of atherosclerosis is unknown and is proposed to be multifactorial. Risk factors include [[dyslipidemia|abnormal cholesterol levels]], elevated levels of [[inflammatory biomarker]]s, [[high blood pressure]], [[diabetes]], [[smoking]] (both active and [[passive smoking]]), [[obesity]], genetic factors, family history, lifestyle habits, and an unhealthy diet. [[Atheroma|Plaque]] is made up of fat, [[cholesterol]], [[calcium]], and other substances found in the [[blood]]. The narrowing of [[arteries]] limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to parts of the body. Diagnosis is based upon a physical exam, [[electrocardiogram]], and [[exercise stress test]], among others.</div>FuzzyBot
