Why are coronary arteries so easily blocked by floating embolisms
What else can I help you with?
What are blocked arteries called?
Blocked arteries are called coronary arteries. Carotid artery disease is another named for blocked arteries. This should be determined by a doctor.

What arteries would be most likely blocked in someone with chest pain?
coronary arteries
What blocked arteries can be bypassed by using veins in the leg?
They are called left internal mammary arteries (LIMAs).
What is the operation to get past blocked arteries of the heart and deliver blood?
coronary bypass
What are coronary artries?
Coronary arteries are the vessels that provide blood supply to the heart muscle itself. If they are blocked or damaged, a heart attack may result.
What is a condition that occurs when coronary arteries become blocked?
A heart attack
Do coronary arteries get their blood supply during systole or diastole?
Coronary arteries primarily receive blood supply during diastole when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood. This is because during systole, when the heart is contracting to push blood out, the coronary arteries can get compressed which reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.
What is the effect of smoking on the blood vessels?
The blood vessel gets blocked. In the heart, if one of the coronary arteries get blocked by smoking, it can cause a myocardial infarction (Heart Attack).
What is coronary bypass graft surgery?
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a surgical procedure in which one or more blocked coronary arteries are bypassed by a blood vessel graft to restore normal blood flow to the heart.
How are coronary arteries involved in a heart attack?
A blocked (occluded) coronary artery is what causes a heart attack.
Do anastamoses among coronary arterial branches provide collateral routes for blood delivery to the heart muscle?
Yes, sometimes this is the case. In fact, collateral systems among the coronary arteries have been hypothesized to "save" individuals from heart attacks and even death, when the main coronary arteries are completely or almost completely blocked.
