. A common cause of cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to a buildup of plaque. For instance, significant narrowing in the coronary arteries, which bring oxygenated blood to the heart, can produce symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, and breathlessness.
