While advances in treatment have reduced mortality in some regions, the atherosclerosis prevention remains challenging. This shift results from an epidemiologic transition: as infectious diseases decline, chronic conditions like atherosclerosis dominate.

Artery Damage : Hypertension damages the inner lining of your arteries, making them less elastic and more prone to plaque buildup. This condition, called atherosclerosis, narrows the arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Limit your intake of salt, processed foods, and sugary drinks.

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.

While much attention is given to modifiable risk factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking, the role of genetics in heart disease is equally critical yet less understood by the general public. Specific genetic variants, such as those affecting cholesterol metabolism, can increase the likelihood of plaque buildup in the arteries.

However, most adults will start to develop advanced plaque in their coronary arteries early in life. 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.

High-protein diets are often advocated for building muscle, losing weight, and optimizing body composition. Eating this amount of protein means your diet will comprise about 11% of calories from protein, leaving fat and carbs to fill the gaps. In simpler terms: In mice, a high-protein (and hence high-amino-acid) diet activates mTORC1.

Background:Most ischemic strokes are caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic plaque formation is modulated by genetic and environmental interactions. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) regulates lipid metabolism, and its deficiency is associated with dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis.
