Narrowed coronary artery. Artwork showing a coronary artery that is blocked by atheroma (cream). Atheroma is the deposition of fatty material on the inner walls of a blood vessel. This can greatly reduce the size of the lumen (inner space) and so causes a reduction in blood flow (ischaemia) to the tissue supplied by the vessel. Blocked coronary arteries lead to heart attacks | |
