Blocked arteries - reg.
Sir/Madam,
Recently, one of my relative had chest pain and was diagnosed with blocked artery in the heart. A major surgery was done and he is better now.
Kindly let us know on the following.
Whether blockage of artery is confined to the heart alone.
As many arteries are branching in our body and blood flows all over the body, can blockage occur in any artery / any part of the body?
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
R. Balasubramanian.
