When the arteries start to clog, it is usually due to fat buildup called plaque, which consists of all hamrful substances: cholesterol, fat and calcium, and this process is medically termed as atherosclerosis.
The symptoms start to show up real quick:
Narrowed arteries limit the blood flow of oxygen and blood
Chest pain usually occurs due to reduced blood flow
The heart has to work a little harder to push the blood through the clogged arteries.
