Plaque regression can be demonstrated by ultrasound evaluation of the carotids which are easily accessible. Regular exercise can bring down the blood pressure in the long run. Though blood pressure rises progressively with increasing exercise, it reduces the resting blood pressure in the long run.

Hence the blood stagnates in some parts of the upper chambers (left atrium) and clots may form. If these clots migrate to the blood vessels of the brain, a stroke may result.

The fundamental characteristic of atherosclerosis is when a cholesterol particle becomes trapped in the artery wall. Many factors make the lipoprotein particle more likely to become retained in the artery wall, such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance and smoking. CE = Cholesterol Ester. TG = Triglycerides.

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. 4 Coronary atheroma regression and plaque characteristics assessed by grayscale and radiofrequency intravascular ultrasound after aerobic exercise.

Moreover, electrocardiograms, which record the electrical activity of the heart, and wearable devices can provide artificial intelligence (AI) the data it needs to spot possible cases of valvular heart disease via fluctuations in heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygenation and other factors.

Controlling LDL cholesterol. Managing blood pressure. Let's take a 42-year-old male with an LDL cholesterol of 5.1 mmol/l (197 mg/dl) with normal blood pressure who is a little overweight, does not smoke or have diabetes and has a family history of heart disease. Being active. Good nutrition. Normal weight.
