AVIM therapy is an investigational patented bioelectronic therapy, administered using a standard dual-chamber pacemaker, designed to immediately, substantially and persistently reduce blood pressure. This leaves a gap in the care of these patients and increases their risk for heart attack, stroke and heart failure progression.

Coronary Atherosclerosis There are multiple ways of describing coronary plaque: The degree of obstruction The composition of the plaque The thickness of the plaque wall (Cap) that separates the plaque from the inside of the blood vessel. All of these components influence the risk of future heart attacks.

ApoB Atherosclerosis, by definition, is caused by the retention of an ApoB lipid particle in the artery wall. This retained particle then sets off an inflammatory cascade, which ultimately results in the formation of atherosclerosis 1. Mechanism of atherosclerosis formation.

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. A CT CAC scan can only identify if there is calcified atherosclerosis, where it is and to what extent. And it matters.

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a measure of atherosclerosis and a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. This has raised concerns that long-term, high-volume exercise might be detrimental to heart health. A new analysis helps us understand. Family history of CAD was the most potent predictor of severe CAC.
