Definition
梗塞 has two main senses: as a verb it means 'to block, to clog', used for physical obstructions in pipes, passages, or blood vessels. In medical contexts, 梗塞 (especially in compounds like 心肌梗塞 'myocardial infarction') acts as a noun referring to infarction, but the dictionary marks this row as verb—use the verb sense for active blockage (堵塞).
