Calcified arteries- what is the significance? – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Calcium deposition in arteries shows how much fatty build-up or plaque formation. Plaques, especially in your coronary arteries, are the leading cause of heart attacks, and when a piece of these plaques breaks off, a blood clot can form around it, blocking the flow of blood, and the heart muscles will be deprived of oxygen.
