building of blood clot in blood vessel wall develops hypertension. Narrowing the path of blood flow may sudden causes blocking of blood flow. 

Blocking of blood flow toward heart cell causes heart attack or heart failure. Simply,  to say breaking down of blood flow breaks down oxygen supply toward heart cell,  as a result causes myocardial infarction as well improper functioning of heart causes. 

As same mechanism, blood clotting can cause stroke and transient ischemic attack by blocking of oxygen supply to the brain cell.
