When the coronary artery is blocked, it could lead to a heart attack, no doubt a very serious condition. The blockage of a coronary artery is caused by a buildup of plaque. This blocks blood flow through the artery, depriving tissue of oxygen. Plaque is a substance made of cholesterol, a form of fat (lipid) which when accumulated can be very dangerous to the blood vessel. This plaque cannot be removed naturally and buildup can be slowed or even prevented by a healthy diet.

What is coronary athrscl uns vessel?
coronary atherosclerosis of unspecified vessels. Atherosclerosis is where fatty deposits collect in the walls of arteries which can thicken and harder and eventually cause blockage (plaque build-up).
What causes heart attack?
Most heart attacks occur as a result of coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is the buildup over time of a material called plaque on the inner walls of the coronary arteries. Eventually, a section of plaque can break open, causing a blood clot to form at the site. A heart attack occurs if the clot becomes large enough to cut off most or all of the blood flow through the artery.
Is plaque build up a coronary heart disease?

What is the condition known as the atherosclerosis?

What is coronary arterial calcification?
coronary artery calcifications is a fancy word for plaque. it is a build up of fat in the artery, causing it to narrow and if left untreated, it will close altogther resulting in heart attack . the coronary arteries, right and left, supply blood to the heart muscle. Calcifications or plaque buildup of the right or left Corodid arteries .( these are the two large arteries on each side of the neck that supply blood flow to the brain) If left un-treated, can cause a person to feel dizzy or confused and if arteries completely close, can and will most likely lead to a stroke......Tom Wade..
