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. But can coronary artery disease be reversed with lifestyle measures, including changes to nutrition and exercise? REVERSAL Investigators.

Artery Damage : Hypertension damages the inner lining of your arteries, making them less elastic and more prone to plaque buildup. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) : High blood pressure accelerates the development of CAD by promoting the buildup of plaques in the coronary arteries.

While much attention is given to modifiable risk factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking, the role of genetics in heart disease is equally critical yet less understood by the general public. Specific genetic variants, such as those affecting cholesterol metabolism, can increase the likelihood of plaque buildup in the arteries.

This blockage is often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood. A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when an artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.

High-protein diets are often advocated for building muscle, losing weight, and optimizing body composition. Eating this amount of protein means your diet will comprise about 11% of calories from protein, leaving fat and carbs to fill the gaps. In simpler terms: In mice, a high-protein (and hence high-amino-acid) diet activates mTORC1.

Understanding Peripheral Artery Disease Peripheral artery disease or PAD is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries that lead to the legs and feet. Below, we examine several prevention strategies: Regular Exercise Engaging in regular physical activity is crucial for maintaining optimal cardiovascular health.
