Calcification

Calcification of the aorta could cause a heart attack because this blood vessel has its natural elasticity, preventing proper blood circulation. Myocardial infarction occurs when calcium plaque completely blocks blood flow or when part of the plaque detaches from the wall of the aorta and blocks a smaller blood vessel, preventing blood from flowing into […]
