Luckily, here we are to explain. Thrombosis occurs when blood clots create a blockade in the blood vessels. There are two types of thromboses. There is <i><b>Venous Thrombosis<\/b><\/i>, which is when a blood clot forms in the vein. <b><i>Arterial Thrombosis<\/i><\/b> is when a blood clot forms in the artery.<\/p>\n<p>What Is The Link Between Thrombosis and High Cholesterol?<\/p>\n<p>Your blood contains cholesterol, a fatty substance essential for constructing cell membranes and producing hormones. Cholesterol is made up of two parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>LDL<\/strong> or <strong>low-density lipoprotein, <\/strong>which is essentially bad cholesterol. <strong>LDL<\/strong> cholesterol is the kind that travels through the body and builds along the arteries.<\/li>\n<li>Then we have <strong>high-density lipoprotein <\/strong>or<strong> HDL, <\/strong>which is good cholesterol.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>According to general and preventive cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, in Boston, MA, Dr. Francine K. Welty, <strong>&#8220;<\/strong><strong>HDL has many other cardioprotective effects, which include regulating immune function.&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8392 alignright\" title=\"Blocked Artery 322474965\" src=\"https:\/\/salcedomedicalcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Blocked-Artery-322474965-300x208.jpg\" alt=\"Blocked Artery 322474965\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.yourportaldesign.com\/ypdev2\/salcedomedicalcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Blocked-Artery-322474965-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/new.yourportaldesign.com\/ypdev2\/salcedomedicalcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Blocked-Artery-322474965-1024x709.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/new.yourportaldesign.com\/ypdev2\/salcedomedicalcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Blocked-Artery-322474965-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/new.yourportaldesign.com\/ypdev2\/salcedomedicalcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Blocked-Artery-322474965-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/new.yourportaldesign.com\/ypdev2\/salcedomedicalcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Blocked-Artery-322474965.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>HDL also transports excess cholesterol and sends it right back to the liver!<\/p>\n<p>However, when there is a higher level of cholesterol, that&#8217;s when the real trouble starts! With high cholesterol, plaque can form in the arteries. When the plaque breaks, blood clots can form easily.<\/p>\n<p>What is The Cause of Cholesterol And How Can You Prevent It?<\/p>\n<p>Many factors can cause high cholesterol, but knowing the main causes can be the biggest help when it comes to prevention.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Alcohol:<\/strong> High levels of alcohol can also increase the overall levels of cholesterol in the body.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of Exercise:<\/strong> It&#8217;s important to get enough exercise throughout the week.
