Exercise prevents and reverses cardiovascular disease, but whether high-intensity exercise training (HIIT) is safe and effective for adults after minimally invasive heart surgery is unknown. Exercise is a wonder drug for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and reversal. And the more you exercise, the better your outcomes.

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.

If you exercise, you’ll probably live longer than someone who doesn’t. But can you exercise too much? Like anything — food, alcohol, work — exercise can also be overdone. There’s more debate about the optimal level of exercise for reducing the risk of death and disease.

Thus, it has recently become generally accepted that most plaque ruptures resulting in myocardial infarction occur in plaques that narrow the lumen diameter by 40% of the arterial cross section may be involved by plaque. The pathologist may see a plaque that constitutes, for example, 50% of the cross-sectional area.

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.

Atherosclerosis, also called " hardening of the arteries, " occurs when fat, cholesterol and other substances are deposited in the walls of the arteries. These deposits are called plaques. Over time, these plaques can narrow or completely block arteries and cause problems throughout the body. Atherosclerosis is a common disease.

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.
