If the right coronary artery is completely blocked, it can lead to a reduction or complete loss of blood flow to the areas of the heart it supplies, particularly the right atrium, right ventricle, and parts of the inferior wall of the left ventricle. This blockage can result in ischemia, potentially causing a heart attack (myocardial infarction) that may manifest as chest pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms. Additionally, it can disrupt the heart's electrical conduction system, leading to arrhythmias or heart failure if not promptly addressed. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to restore blood flow and minimize damage to the heart muscle.

What is the medical term meaning procedure to flatten the plaque in a partially blocked coronery artery?
Balloon angioplasty is the procedure to flatten the plaque in a partially blocked coronary artery.
How can the heart muscles be affected if the coronary artery is blocked?
If a coronary artery is blocked, the heart muscles will not get enough oxygen. This condition is known as ischemia. If the condition continues, the ischemia may lead to infarction, or death of tissue due to lack of oxygen.
What is a person with a blocked coronary artery most likely to suffer from?
Obviously coronary heart disease! A blocked coronary artery reduces blood flow & thus Oxygen to the heart which in turn causes Angina when a person will experience pain & breatlessness. Without treatment a blockage can cause a heart attack.
What would happen if your coronary artery was clogged?
a completely clogged coronary artery is one the things that causes heart attacks (myocardial infarctions)
What are blocked arteries called?
