An artery is blocked when the blood flow is stopped and can no longer irrigate the organs of the body with blood, oxygen and substrates necessary for their functioning. A clogged artery is often a source of many serious heart and vascular problems. This obstruction may be the result of several factors, but fortunately there are natural remedies that will help to deal with this problem, let's find out one of them!
The cardiovascular system is an essential part of the human organism. However, clogged arteries can significantly impact the body and cause, for example, myocardial infarction or lower limb arterial disease. The obstruction may be related to arteritis, inflammation of the arterial wall or cholesterol accumulation ...
More details on the causes:
One of the main causes of arterial obstruction is arteritis, an inflammation of the arterial wall that mainly affects the lower limbs: foot, leg and thigh. In France, nearly 3% of the population suffers from arteritis of the lower limbs, especially those over 60 years old. This disease remains for a long time without symptoms before manifesting itself.
The arteries can also become blocked because of the progressive formation of atheroma plaque, due for example to the accumulation of cholesterol, arterial hypertension or diabetes.
Finally, the arteries can be brutally clogged and totally because of a blood clot. Blood clots are semi-solid, viscous masses of blood cells that form as a result of injury to a blood vessel.
