There will be reduced blood flow to the myocardium and the duration and severity will determinate the fate of the compromised myocardium.
Some of the features are systolic and diastolic disfunction, elevation of filling pressures, electrocardiographic changes and pain.
In case of prolonged cessation of blood flow the myocardial infarction is the final outcome.
Which coronary artery is most likely occluded
Coronary artery bypass graft is the procedure done to provide the myocardium with a new source of blood supply when a coronary artery is occluded.

The coronary sinus runs in the posterior coronary sulcus. In the anterior coronary sulci the stems of the coronary artery run. The circumflex branch of the left and the extension of the right coronary artery that becomes the posterior descending artery run around the coronary sulcus from front to back
If you resect out an occluded section of coronary artery then anastomose a vein to re-connect, that is serial.If you graft a section of vein across a partially occluded artery without resecting that segment, that would be parallel.
You have a heart attack.
A blocked (occluded) coronary artery is what causes a heart attack.

No. The coronary arteries are not the largest arteries. The aorta is the largest artery.
I think that you are talking about Coronary artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the walls of the heart.If it is blocked by the fat content there would be no supply of oxygenated blood and hence we experience heart strokes.
Left coronary artery
