How To Reverse Coronary Artery Disease With Lifestyle Measures

Dr. Paddy Barrett

Reversing or regressing coronary artery disease is possible. But can coronary artery disease be reversed with lifestyle measures, including changes to nutrition and exercise? Thinner caps are more likely to rupture and cause a heart attack and are described as TCFA’s - Thin Cap Fibroatheromas 1.

New AI Tool Finds Rare Variants Linked to Heart Disease in 17 Genes

DAIC

A rare variant association study using exome sequencing data was performed on a machine learning-based marker for coronary artery disease (CAD). Our findings help us understand how these 17 genes are involved in coronary artery disease. Credit: Ron Do, PhD, and Ben Omega Petrazzini, BS, at Icahn Mount Sinai.

Is Anemia Common After Heart Bypass Surgery?

MIBHS

This surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by bypassing the blocked sections of the arteries. While this procedure can significantly enhance heart function and reduce symptoms of heart disease, it does come with potential risks and complications. What is Heart Bypass Surgery?

Physiology Friday #199: High-Intensity Interval Training Reduces Coronary Artery Plaque

Physiologically Speaking

In this 6-month randomized controlled study, twice-weekly HIIT reduced coronary plaque volume, increased aerobic fitness, and improved body composition in adults with stable heart disease, suggesting benefits for cardiovascular disease progression. And the more you exercise, the better your outcomes.

The Value Of Lifestyle In Those With An Elevated Lp(a)

Dr. Paddy Barrett

An elevated Lp(a) is a common genetic factor that is independently and causally related to premature coronary artery disease. The occurrence of disease in this instance is probabilistic, not deterministic. The occurrence of disease in this instance is probabilistic, not deterministic. The answer, it seems, is yes.
