Exercise does not prevent blocked arteries, study finds

Does a lot of physical exercise prevent clogged arteries? New research suggests that this may not be the case.

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a condition characterized by a buildup of plaque in the main vessels that supply blood to the heart.
