Cholesterol -> Coronary plaque -> Dormant bacteria within the plague biofilm is shielded from the immune system and antibiotics. When it ruptures, bacteria is released, sudden death.
>Of the bacteria detected, oral viridans group streptococcal DNA was the most common, being found in 42.1% of coronary plaques and 42.9% of endarterectomies.
