Hello, cardiovascular blockage is likely caused by coronary artery atherosclerosis. In severe cases, this may lead to acute myocardial infarction; therefore, prompt treatment is essential. Medications include oral antiplatelet agents—such as aspirin and clopidogrel—as well as statins to control blood lipid levels and stabilize atherosclerotic plaques. If the blockage is particularly severe, coronary stent implantation may be required. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
