You cannot eliminate the plaque entirely, but multiple clinical trials have shown plaque regression using high-intensity cholesterol-lowering treatments, which I have discussed previously. But can coronary artery disease be reversed with lifestyle measures, including changes to nutrition and exercise? REVERSAL Investigators.

PAD is a serious, progressive cardiovascular disease primarily caused by a buildup of fatty plaque in the blood vessels, or atherosclerosis. This plaque narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the legs and feet, which may significantly impair physical function, walking performance and quality of life.
