coronary arteries are those vessels which supply blood to heart muscle and aorta is a major vessel which carries blood from heart to body ...both of these are showing hardening and fatty deposits ..you must be having symptoms as chest tightness ..but you should see your doctor soon ...donot delay ..these things may prove very dangerous for you ...till the time you visit your doctor...please donot strain physically or mentally ...all the best
