Causes of Clogged Arteries. There are many substances and properties that can circulate with the blood, including cholesterol, calcium, fat, fibrin and cellular waste. When these substances accumulate on the inner walls of the arteries, they turn into plaque buildup.
The medical term for clogged arteries is atherosclerosis, and itâs a major risk factor for heart attack or stroke, because clogged and hardened arteries may restrict blood flow to some parts of the brain or heart. Sometimes the plaque buildup is hereditary, but often, itâs related to diet.
