That has a few names. It can be a clogged artery, blocked artery, and other names.

The material that blocks the artery is usually fat, though blood clots can form in arteries. This is very dangerous. It can cause all kinds of problems, and not just heart problems. If an artery in your brain is blocked, you can die within minutes because of lack of oxygen to the brain. If it happens in the artery leading to the lungs, the same may happen. This can be prevented by eating less junk food and exercising.
