Heart Blockage Reasons and Types

Heart blockage means the narrowing or blocking of the coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. This condition can be medically termed Coronary Artery Disease.

When these blood vessels are narrowed, it means the heart muscle will not be able to receive sufficient amounts of oxygen, especially when stressed or performing any physical activity.

Reason for Heart blockage 

Most often, this is because of atherosclerosis. After a very long period of time, substances like cholesterol and calcium accumulate inside the wall of the affected artery along with inflammatory cells and form what are called plaques.

Step By Step 

  1. Damage to the artery lining – caused by smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and/or high cholesterol levels.

  2. Lipid Deposition – LDL, also known as bad cholesterol, penetrates into the atheros

  3. Plaque formation – Fat, calcium, and fibers accumulate.

  4. Artery narrowing – The flow of blood gradually reduces.

  5. Complete obstruction/clot – The sudden rupture of the plaque may lead to heart attacks
