Coronary occlusion refers to the blockage of one or more coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. This blockage can be caused by a buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis), blood clots, or spasms in the arteries. Coronary occlusion can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart, resulting in chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction) if not treated promptly. Timely medical intervention is crucial to restore blood flow and minimize damage to the heart.
