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.

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. Having no evidence of plaque on both of these tests reflects a very low risk of a heart attack in the next five to ten years.
