Every heart is different. So is every blockage.
What Is a Calcium Blockage
A healthy artery lets blood flow freely. Over time, fat and cholesterol build up inside the artery wall, and calcium settles on top, hardening it further. This narrows the passage and reduces blood flow to the heart. A calcium blockage isn't the same as a regular one. It's harder, stiffer, and needs a different treatment approach.
