the major implications would be that the cells are not going to receive oxygen which means that they will die because cells need oxygen to perform their metabolic process (cellular respiration). without cellular respiration, the cells will have to ATP and they will not be able to perform their functions. (ie. muscles won't contract...

dead cells will cause massive organ failure but before that the organism would suffocate to death because the heart would be one of the first organs to fail from lack of oxygen. it would pump harder and harder and require even more oxygen.
