    The disease associated with the accumulation of cholesterol plaque in the arterial walls is arteriosclerosis

    Explanation:

    Elevated cholesterol levels (LDL, the so-called "bad"), can form a plaque that sticks to the wall of the blood vessels, generating atherosclerosis. This leads to narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries.
