What causes Heart Blockage?
HIGH CHOLESTEROL AND TRIGLYCERIDES Coronary arteries or the Heart arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood to your heart. These arteries can never get fatigued because if they do the heart won’t be able to function as it does. Heart pumps blood day and night, this tiny organ (size of your clinched fist) works very efficiently to pump blood throughout the body. However; there are two enemies which try to hinder the supply of blood to your heart by blocking these coronary arteries; they are Cholesterol and Triglycerides. You must have heard of the term coronary artery disease or simply heart blockage. It is the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries and is usually caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the build-up of cholesterol, triglycerides and other fatty deposits (called plaques) inside the arteries. These plaques can clog the arteries or damage the arteries, which limits or stops blood flow to the heart muscle which can lead to heart attack, stroke and much more.
