Doctor, do you have any investigation to know how much the total plaque burden is in my coronary artery? I recently read in Forbes Sunday health supplement, It says ,it is better to know the thickness of the cap covering the plaque. So, you want me to teach you the molecular biology of Atherosclerosis ,right ? Korean Circ J.

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. All of these parameters are important and need to be considered when evaluating plaque regression. REVERSAL Investigators.

Everyone starts with no plaque in the coronary arteries, but over a long enough time frame, everyone develops plaque in their coronary arteries. By age 80, almost everyone will have evidence of advanced plaque in their coronary arteries, as defined by a cardiac CT 1. Plaque accumulation happens in stages. You got it.

By age 66, more than half of all females will have evidence of advanced plaque in their coronary arteries, as seen on a CT calcium score. Coronary atherosclerosis, as evidenced by an abnormal CAC score, is a measure of advanced plaque.
