Cholesterol plaques can be the cause of heart disease. Plaques begin in artery walls and grow over years. Their growth slowly blocks blood flow in arteries. A cholesterol plaque can rupture. The sudden blood clot that forms over the rupture then causes a heart attack or stroke.

CS can occur due to a rare genetic disorder in which a protein called lipoprotein lipase (LpL) is broken or missing. It can also be caused by the absence of second factor called apo C-II, which activates LpL. When LpL is missing or broken, fat particles build up in the blood.
