A member asked:
What happenes when one artery is 99% blocked and the other is 70% blocked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blocked arteries: What happens when you have arteries that 99 and 70% blocked depends on where the arteries are. If they are in the heart, angina is likely to be present. If they are in the legs, pain on walking or non-healing wounds there may be present. If they're in the carotid arteries, the patient is danger of having a stroke. Speak to the doctor who told the patient of the blockages for the right therapy.
