Unfortunately not when an artery gets blocked there is something called plaque which develops inside it. Which blocks some part of the artery. Overtime this plaque can get calcified and organize or it may get inflamed and burst like a pimple inside the artery. When this pimple bursts alot of cloting activity happens there which forms a thrombus which blocks the rest of the vessel and causes heart attack. Meditations can only make this clotting process slower and decrease chances of future plaque formation. But already formed plaque will remain as it as even after angioplasty. Angioplasty will pushout the plaques to decrease the blockage and medication will decrease the chances of this clot formation. Proper diet and exercise decreases the chances of having a heart attack and conditions the heart to form more blood vessels to compensate for the blocked arteries.
