Reversing or regressing coronary artery disease is possible. 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. REVERSAL Investigators. 2004 Mar 3;291(9):1071-80.

Artery Damage : Hypertension damages the inner lining of your arteries, making them less elastic and more prone to plaque buildup. This condition, called atherosclerosis, narrows the arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, in collaboration with researchers across multiple institutions, has published a new study that challenges the long-held belief that high cholesterol correlates and even directly causes coronary artery disease, or plaque buildup in the arteries in metabolically healthy (..)

To induce atherosclerosis, mice were fed high fat diet (HFD) for 6 weeks following partial ligation of left carotid artery in C57BL6 mice. M-MDSCs phenotype switch, atherosclerotic lesion development and plaque phenotype was studiedin vivo.Results:We observed CCR5 elevation on Monocytic-MDSCs in the early phase of atherosclerosis.

High cholesterol levels – Elevated levels of bad cholesterol can contribute to plaque buildup in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. Smoking – Smoking is the most preventable cause of heart disease. It damages blood vessels, decreases oxygen to the heart and raises the risk of heart disease.

A 69‐year‐old woman with a history of lung cancer, hypertension, chronic tobacco use, atherosclerosis, and known calcified plaque at the left carotid bifurcation on dual antiplatelet therapy presented with acute onset of expressive aphasia and right hemiparesis due to acute left CCAO. Post‐operatively, he had evacuation of neck hematoma.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, often attributed to a mix of lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions. A family history of heart disease often indicates that genetic factors might be at play.
