Best Answer

coronary artery calcifications is a fancy word for plaque. it is a build up of fat in the artery, causing it to narrow and if left untreated, it will close altogther resulting in heart attack . the coronary arteries, right and left, supply blood to the heart muscle. Calcifications or plaque buildup of the right or left Corodid arteries .( these are the two large arteries on each side of the neck that supply blood flow to the brain) If left un-treated, can cause a person to feel dizzy or confused and if arteries completely close, can and will most likely lead to a stroke......Tom Wade..
