coronary artery calcifications is a fancy word for plaque. it is a build up of fat in the artery, causing it to narrow and if left untreated, it will close altogther resulting in heart attack . the coronary arteries, right and left, supply blood to the heart muscle. Calcifications or plaque buildup of the right or left Corodid arteries .( these are the two large arteries on each side of the neck that supply blood flow to the brain) If left un-treated, can cause a person to feel dizzy or confused and if arteries completely close, can and will most likely lead to a stroke......Tom Wade..

What is the medical term meaning passage of a balloon catheter through the lumen of an occluded coronary vessel to compress plaque against the arterial walls?
Angioplasty or balloon angioplasty is the medical term meaning passage of a balloon catheter through the lumen of an occluded coronary vessel to compress plaque against the arterial walls.
Coronary arteries receive the majority of arterial blood supply during?
Coronary arteries receive the majority of arterial blood supply during diastole, the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle relaxes. During this time, the aortic valve closes, allowing blood to flow back into the coronary arteries from the aorta. This is crucial for supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle itself, ensuring its proper function and health.
What is mild vascular calcification in a non contrast CT Scan?
Mild vascular calcification in a non-contrast CT scan refers to the presence of small deposits of calcium within the walls of blood vessels. This can be a normal part of aging and is often seen in older individuals. It may indicate early signs of atherosclerosis, a condition where fatty deposits build up in the arteries, but mild calcification alone does not necessarily indicate significant disease.
What is coronary atherosclerosis of native coronary artery?
Coronary Atherosclerosis: is a condition in which the arteries of the heart become clogged with fatty plaque build-up that restricts the amount of blood flow through the arteries while simultaneously causing hardening of the arterial walls. Native Coronary Artery: is an organ for which a transplant or bypass has been implanted
