This blockage will likely increase the resistance to flow in his circulatory system, and as a result will decrease the rate of blood flow.
Blood vessels in the circulatory system transport blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries transport blood away from the heart, while veins transport blood back to the heart. The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells while also removing waste products such as carbon dioxide.
Vascular disease (vasculopathy) affects the blood vessels that transport oxygen and nutrients throughout your body and remove waste. Plaque (made of fat and cholesterol) slows or blocks blood flow inside your arteries or veins, causing common vascular problems. When there is too much cholesterol in the blood, the cholesterol and other substances can combine to form deposits (plaques) on the artery walls. Plaques can cause an artery to narrow or become blocked.
