What type of blood does the coronary artery deliver to the heart?
The coronary artery delivers oxygenated blood to the heart. The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
How does the blockage of a coronary artery lead to a heart attack?
arteries provide oxygenated blood to the tissues they supply. ergo, a coronary artery that is blocked cannot deliver oxygen to the tissue it is supplying, and all that tissue dies... literally dies as in tissue necrosis, cellular death and just becomes a hunk of meat that flaps along with the tissue around it that still does get oxygen and can move. If a large enough piece of tissue dies or if multiple arteries get blocked then heart stops beating and death occurs.
