Healthy lifestyle, yet a blocked artery? Cardiologist explains

A 61-year-old woman with blood pressure of 90/60 who exercises, eats healthily and has a normal weight asked how she could have a blocked artery. Mumbai cardiologist Dr Punya Pratap Kujur says a healthy lifestyle lowers but doesn't erase heart risk, as ageing, genetics, family history, diabetes, cholesterol and smoking exposure can drive plaque. Low blood pressure doesn't rule out coronary disease.
