The reason: They were accumulating plaque in their coronary arteries much earlier than their peers. You can’t have a heart attack if you don’t have plaque in your coronary arteries. And plaque in your coronary arteries is the result of exposure to risk factors over time.

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. Mixed Plaque - A combination of both calcified and NON-calcified plaque.

The identification of a variant in theHDAC9gene as a risk factor for large-artery atherosclerotic stroke, and subsequently coronary artery disease, has opened novel treatment pathways for stroke and more widely atherosclerotic disease.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 7 Research has shown inflammation plays a significant role in the development of atherosclerosis and ASCVD,8-10 and even the formation of plaque.11 4 In the U.S.

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.

With time, fat and cholesterol can get trapped in the areas of wear and tear and cause plaque formation. The plaques can damage us in 2 ways. If the plaque gets so restrictive that no blood gets through then that leads to a heart attack which then damages the heart as a pump.

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.
