coronary occlusion. noun. Medical Definition of coronary occlusion. : the partial or complete blocking (as by a thrombus, by spasm, or by sclerosis) of a coronary artery.
The term coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction, or heart attack, is often used interchangeably. Coronary thrombosis is a condition that leads to heart attack, however, and not the heart attack that occurs after a blood clot develops in the arteries. A coronary occlusion, or thrombosis, occurs when a blood clot causes a blockage leading to the heart. According to the Center for Disease Control, over 700,000 people have a heart attack each year. Of that number, about 15% of people will experience a fatal heart attack.
