Lemon juice definitely will not clear the blockage in your heart arteries. Very prudent diet that addresses things like high cholesterol can help to slow the progression, but rarely reverse coronary artery blockage.
Lemons contain about 31 G of Vitamin C which can reduce your risk of stroke and heart disease with regular consumption. Lemons contain a high level of dietary fiber which can reduce LDL cholesterol which is associated with hardening of the arteries.
