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 causes of coronary thrombosis can be complex. People who smoke or make unhealthy lifestyle choices are more susceptible to developing this potentially fatal condition than those following a healthy routine. 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.
