There is NO %.
It is like comparing a garden hose 50% plugged with a 3" fire hose 50% plugged.
You have to ask, percent of what? And that is different from person to person.
Some people have problems with 40% due to small veins.
Some people don't have problems till 87% plugged.
Also if the restriction is slow in occurring, the body may have time to develop a capillary blood supply to help make up for the reduced blood flow.
An athlete will hit the wall much sooner than a librarian.
Last, most of the time it is NOT plaque that causes the problem, but a rupturing of the plaque that triggers a blood clot. Small plaque can kill you just as fast as large plaque.
Many people are full of plaque and never have a problem. Others have little, but one rupture can cause a big problem. It is like a land mine. We know the classic risk factors that put the plaque there. But what triggers it in some people and not others is still being researched. Stress is one risk factor. AKA type "A" personalities.
