How does a blocked artery cause less oxygen to reach the heart?
Arteries carry blood, oxygenated by the lungs, to the cells of the body. Since the heart is a large muscle, its cells need oxygen too. When one of the arteries supplying the heart with oxygenated blood is blocked ("occluded") the oxygen cannot reach the cells supplied by that artery.

Is it possible for blocked arteries in the heart to cause leg pain?
It is possible that because you have blocked arteries in the heart that you may also have blocked arteries in your legs, restricting blood flow and causing pain in your legs. Vascular disease is often present throughout the body. Mention this pain to your doctor and have them check the pulses in your feet. You may also need an angiogram or ultrasound of your legs.
How does the arteries and veins in the heart become blocked?
Cholesterol and bacteria form plaque on the inside wall (called tunica intima) of veins and arteries. This can make the systemic pressure rise, affecting blood pressure.
Do you have to have high cholesterol in order to have blocked arteries?
No. It is possible to have clots that block arteries. It is also possible to have a genetic predisposition such as very thin arteries that allows blockage to occur sooner.
