A member asked:
Can you clog your arteries in just a few months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes. Rupture of plaque can trigger the platelets and clog the artery by forming a blood clot within minutes. When the artery in the heart is completely thus clogged, it results in a heart attack. The plaque itself generally forms over years.
