It depends on where it is, but it could only cause a small amount of damage to tissue and cells beyond it. It could block flow to larger tissue (heart) cause what we called a heart attack. Again, it could be a very small spot of dead tissue or very large (which could cause the whole heart to 'blow open' causing instant death). Or it could block blood flow to the brain. Sometimes that would cause a TIA or a great stroke.

The nervous system responds quickly to stimuli, while the endocrine system regulates processes that require longer-term balance, such as metabolism and growth. Together, they coordinate and regulate bodily functions to ensure internal stability.

The endocrine system is the slow one and is made up of endocrine glands that secrete hormones to counter changes.
