Thsi is known as atherosclerosis and if untreated, it can cause various diseases including heart attacks, strokes or blockage of blood to the extremeties.

Various laboratories suggest different normal values. In general, you should keep a cholesterol level of less than 200 mg/dL. When these levels exceed 240 mg/dL, the patient is considered to have hypercholesterolaemia.
