Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The clot in the artery of the heart, or brain, or the other place, will occlude the artery,and stop the blood supply beyond the block.
Our body try to form a collateral circulation, with the reserve arterioles in that area.
The drugs try to dilate the artery, and worphrin to dissolve the clot.How far it is not certain.
Exercise, jumping etc can not do some thing good.
Wishing him good health . Thank you.
