Sometimes, patients with this condition will not experience any symptoms. Other patients may experience a blockage of blood flow, or a rupturing of the plaque, which requires immediate medical attention. http://www.youtube.com/v/NZ14XjOQoFY?hl=en&fs=1 Learn more about safeguarding your heart health by watching this video.
