Best Answer

That is the correct spelling of "arterial blockage".

The medical term is thrombosis when it is caused by a blood clot. The condition atherosclerosis is the narrowing of an artery caused by the thickening of the artery wall (as by cholesterol).

Is 90 blockage of the heart is a massive heart attack?

90% blockage is not a heart attack (myocardial infarction) but could verly likely lead to one. The arterial plaque can "flake" off causing a disruption in the arterial wall thus activating platelets to form a "platelet plug". This aggregation (gathering) causes a thrombus (blood clot) which can become an embolus (traveling blood clot) which can make its way, via the blood stream, to a coronary artery. This in turn would block O2 rich blood from entering the heart muscle. This is an example of how blockage can lead to a heart attack! . Nick J.
