Understanding the Genetic Connection to Heart Disease Your genetic makeup plays a vital role in shaping your heart health. Genes influence various biological processes, including cholesterol metabolism, blood pressure regulation, and the strength and structure of your heart and blood vessels. How Do Genetic Factors Work?

adults—and more than 2 in 5 adults aged 60 years and older—have elevated triglycerides, also known as hypertriglyceridemia , putting them at an increased risk for heart attacks and stroke. It is well known that high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, known as the “bad” cholesterol, heighten cardiovascular risk.

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. In general, the more calcified or fibrous a plaque is, the less dangerous it is, as it is less likely to rupture and cause a heart attack.
