Causes of Clogged Arteries. There are many substances and properties that can circulate with the blood, including cholesterol, calcium, fat, fibrin and cellular waste. When these substances accumulate on the inner walls of the arteries, they turn into plaque buildup.
A clogged artery (stenosis) is a blockage, either partial or complete, in the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to different areas of the body. This gradually or suddenly cuts off the blood supply to the target organ or tissue leading to cell injury (ischemia) or tissue death (infarct).
