Causes of heart disease. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits on the walls of the arteries around the heart (coronary arteries).The fatty deposits, called atheroma, are made up of cholesterol and other waste substances.The build-up of atheroma on the walls of the coronary arteries makes the arteries narrower, restricting the flow of blood to the heart muscle. This process is called atherosclerosis.DL cholesterol tends to build up on the walls of the coronary arteries, increasing your risk of heart disease. HDL, often referred to as good cholesterol, carries cholesterol away from the cells and back to the liver, where it's broken down or passed from the body as a waste product.
