A member asked:
Is a clotted artery to the heart considered very serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be very: Coronary artery disease is blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the heart. A clot or blockage in one of the coronary arteries can cause a heart attack. There are other factors to consider which a cardiologist should be able to explain.
