Effects of High CholesterolThe effects of high cholesterol tend to develop over the course of many years, and are primarily due to a condition called atherosclerosis, which is the narrowing and hardening of arteries. Common effects of high cholesterol due to atherosclerosis include angina, coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Lowering cholesterol is the best way to prevent or control the effects of high cholesterol in the blood.
