Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease Peripheral artery disease or PAD is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries that lead to the legs and feet. Antiplatelet medicines help to reduce the risk of blood clots while statins help to lower blood cholesterol levels and stabilize plaque in the arteries.

Heart Valve Disease If one or more heart valves are not functioning correctly, it can cause blood to flow backward, putting extra pressure on the heart, which may cause it to expand to compensate for the inefficiency. Beta-blockers , which slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots.

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when an artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This blockage is often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood.

Although we missed our primary endpoint, our data support the hypothesis that HDL cholesterol plays a role in reducing subsequent coronary plaque disruption events like heart attack via enhanced cholesterol efflux attacks,” Gibson said. Other studies have shown that high levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with reduced heart attack risk.

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.

In the study, post-menopausal women underwent heart scans to assess their CAC score, a measure of plaque buildup—fat, calcium and other substances—in the heart’s arteries. This affects the way your body stores fat, where it stores fat and the way it processes fat; it even affects the way your blood clots.
